Feeling so meh lately about what the meaning of life is. Am I just supposed to wake up, try to workout, work forever, try to eat healthy and try to budget/save in my personal life. feeling very....

Hey so like - newfound reason for my procrastination since I got on Ritalin - a tendency towards "putting things off so I can enjoy the hyperfocus later". When I just started taking the meds I was super effective for a few weeks but now my brain seems to be figuring out ways around the drugs 🤦🏻‍♀️ any ideas on how to not fall back into procrastination behaviours?

4 years sober today. So much to reflect on, not least of which how important it is to “get comfortable getting uncomfortable”. In my experience, it’s truly the only way forward.

Sending strength to you all 🖤

So tired but feel like I should work out. Should I???? Or nah???? Help

Anyone else basically become comatose on either Saturday or Sunday when you get a weekend without work? I have all of these things I’d love to do, but as soon as my brain understands that I don’t have to work, it’s like I completely lose all energy. It’s making me feel bad about myself. Any tips?

How do you know when dependence turns into addiction? Where’s the line?

If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be? (Let’s pretend the global pandemic isn’t happening)

Over the last few years I’ve allowed myself to gain 40 pounds. I often feel uncomfortable and unattractive in my own body, and I fear that the extra weight puts me at greater risk if I were to catch Covid (though I am vaccinated). Despite all this, I struggle to find the motivation to change. I have lost weight before, but it all came creeping back. I feel very cynical about trying to lose it again. I guess I am just not unhappy enough to try again. Has anyone been in the same boat? 

What are peoples thoughts on lockdown? Seems weird that it is likely to continue beyond April given all vulnerable will have had at least their first vaccine by then

I have adhd and take vyvanse daily. It helps a lot with work but I’m scared of how addictive it can be. Has anyone been through the same?

Can someone explain why alcohol is so debilitating on your health? I had a single drink and the next day at the gym I could feel that drink just wreaking havoc on my workout routine. Anyone have any tips on getting a balance?

I no longer tell myself I want to be dead. Meds and therapy have helped. But I also seem to not care if I die or get a terminal illness or disease. Like I won’t put myself in danger but if I get a disease or illness I won’t mind either. Does anyone else feel like that? Maybe that’s one reason I don’t bother to get myself in shape.

Have you ever been injured at work? I feel like our jobs are so high risk!

Anyone know any consultants who specialize in re negotiating insurance contracts? I’m tasked with finding someone for our fertility practice.

Hey there! I am currently taking Adderall and thinking about switching to Vyvanse. Those of you that have taken Vyvanse, did it affect your sleep or caused weight loss?

We are adding Ganirelix to our routine tonight - I’m pretty scared as the doctor said it can hurt even more than the menopur. 😱 Can anyone validate??

I'm planning my fitness strategy for busy season. I usually prefer exercising after work to help blow off steam, but for busy season I work out in the morning due to schedule. What is your game plan?

For anyone who has a consistent exercise routine can you explain if it has helped you manage your ADHD symptoms and all the different ways it has helped?

Does anyone else feel like their social skills went down during the pandemic? My new anxiety makes retail so hard.

And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?

Does anyone else feel depressed about being single? I ended a 5 year relationship last year and enjoyed my single life but now that I've started working at EY I see mostly everyone is either married or in long term relationships and they all seem really happy. It's really bumming me out but I don't have time to date or meet new people because when I'm not at work I'm studying for the CPA. I hate where my life is right now.

I feel like I have adult ADHD but I don't know how to get it tested to be sure and then get help.
