HELP! I feel like I can’t even blink without my COVID patients dying.

How do you stealthily ask for help? I see a lot of you mentioning that you ask your partners to give you deadline, have your assistant check in, etc. That sounds great, but I'm so nervous about looking like the odd one out or revealing my ADHD in the process. So I haven't brought myself to do it yet.

Associate in the NY office of a magic circle firm. Been really struggling with mental health issues for a long time - I feel like I’m begging for guidance/supervision and not getting any, and can’t get any support junior-wise either. I just get told I’m doing a “good job” but I’m pretty sure that’s just because no one is looking. Is the expectation just to magically figure out how to get things done solo, even if it’s the first time to do it? Is it better at NY-HQ firms that have more resources?

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Apparently responding to “What’s your worst pregnancy symptom?” with “People telling me their traumatic birth stories” is an unacceptable answer.

Curious of who tested positive for covid, did you have stomach issues? I don’t have any other symptoms but can’t seem to trace back why my stomach is acting up and getting paranoid. On the other end, literally everything is listed as a symptom now so it’s so up in the air until I am tested.

Slides and stimulants: Do you not end up making lots of sloppy mistakes on slides when on stimulants? If so, how do you resolve this.

NOT Preaching Alert🚨 but folks on work visa in US, I know its very confusing and uncertain environment that’s increasing our anxiety everyday BUT remember that when you came here you didn’t have anything and most likely have earned/learned so much in terms of education, experience, cultural values, and money ofcourse that it must have prepared you for other options if things don’t work out here. Don’t lose heart and take one day at a time. You got this! We will survive.
