It was super chill, but I went to a practice known for being pretty relaxed so ymmv. I had an interview with a 60 yo hippy psychologist, who I talked through my symptoms with (dating back to childhood behaviors, noting where men and women can present ADHD differently), and he was super supportive. At the end, I got a diagnosis of combined ADHD and then my doctor was able to prescribe based on that diagnosis. I still have to go once a month so they can give me the “all clear”, so that’s annoying, but it takes 30 minutes so it’s fine.

Be careful and read up on the effects of long term use. Bandaids only work for so long before they’re detrimental

I mean uhhh the only effects I’ve read are just decreased effectiveness, but if that happens then I’ll just go off it for a bit until it’s effective again. I’m not really concerned about dependency, it doesn’t feel addictive to me as if I accidentally take more than my body is into then I get super cranky and uncomfortable really quick.

It kind of became our mantra as we navigate and move our life around that "baby takes," its made it feel more Us vs Change rather than Me vs Him. Thought I'd share

My firm requires 200 hours bills per month, now they have been cracking down on us to bill 50 per week. I’m so exhausted. I absolutely hate this place. Insurance defense wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for these insane requirements. We also have to do update charts by weekly for every single one of our cases. All for a measly $85k while the firm makes thousands and thousands per week from each attorney. You only get a bonus for meeting the billable requirement, only to end up with about $2200.

Ultimately, I want to develop my career path into an HRBP role at either one of the big 4 banks or at an insurance company - thoughts?

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.
