Does anyone have any paid media oriented ADHD success stories or tips? I was diagnosed 10+ years ago when I was in high school, and, aside from a couple of years with medication, have since made it through without much help. It’s been tough, but doable. Now, I’m at a point in my career where I need to face the facts, and figure out how to live (and work) with ADHD in order to continue advancing. I do all of the basic things like eat well, exercise regularly, meditate, sleep well, and take notes.

First, I think being in an office helps. Being remote, home alone, can be very hard.

Secondly, if you are remote, I find it helps to hop on a call with teammates/work friends and work together. Sort of like virtual mirroring

Appreciate your feedback. I totally hear you. I am hybrid at the moment, so I see pros and cons to in-office and remote. Fortunately my partner works from home most of the time, so when I wfh I’m not lonely. She’s neurotypical which certainly helps with the mirroring element that I think you’re describing.

I’ve been on ADHD meds and off of them and being on meds is night and day better for me.

Thanks! I’m looking forward to getting honed in on meds.

Hi. I'm managing someone like you - what would be most helpful from your perspective; what do you need from your manager to feel empowered and grow in your role? Is it clear deadlines and structure? Or do you need more freedom to figure it out?

Sweaty post-workout question. If I finish a bike or run in the heat I am usually just pouring sweat for the next 15 or so mins. So I've gotten into the habit of just putting a towel or yoga mat down on the floor and laying/stretching until I am not going to throw sweat everywhere or step in to the shower and step out still sweating. Is there a better version of this maybe for recovery or even just not wasting time waiting?

I just started meds yesterday and the change in my focus and attention to detail is mind blowing.

I’m new in the job (3 months in). Should I explain anything about my adhd to my manager or just wait for them to notice the change in me?

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)? I’m currently in FP&A and looking to work at a Big 4, or another company that offers the ability to move abroad. My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
