Has anyone else tried Strattera, had success, and a few months later felt like work was a struggle again? Am I imagining it? There are reasons why I should not take stimulants, but I miss that feeling of being a “regular” person at work and so am curious if others have had a similar journey and where you all ended up

Anyone else’s brain feel dazed and useless? Kids are a factor but even when I get time, I can’t focus. Tried exercise, outdoors, caffeine, vitamins, sleep, prescribed meds, etc.

I am back to working in person and I can tell my impulsivity is impacting how some coworkers view me. They don’t know, but I wonder if people feel I am weird. I know I can’t please everyone but I want to be neurotypical masking at the very least for 9-10 hours a day (8 hrs plus lunch and a lil before & after work).

What do you all do to make non-professional / personal connections? Particularly with the Coronavirus, and being in domestic relations, I wake up, go to work, work out, go home. So outside of law, my interactions with people are only at the gym given that my area is draining— particularly at the moment. Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.

My unpopular opinion: democrats who want abortion to be legal should not say argue that a fetus isn’t a life. That automatically invalidates it because it so clearly is lol

A literal bacterial cell on Mars is a life, but a whole fetus on earth isn’t? Lol and if it’s not a life, then when a pregnant women is murdered, it shouldn’t count as a double homicide if we want to keep that logic consistent.

Instead, they should agree that although it is a life, it’s such a tough decision CONT. 👇🏻

Can anyone recommend a good personal trainer? Preferably female

I recently started using virtual therapy via betterhelp. How do you all know if therapy sessions are effective or not?

I have a bit of a strange profile, haven’t taken GMAT and I’m wondering if I should just submit applications to T15 anyway. Have been in client-facing analytics at an MBB for 3 years, multiple promos, good trajectory. Undergrad performance at state school above 3.0 overall but transcript is messy to say the least, was dealing with sick parent. Worth it to take a shot without GMAT?

Alternatives to plasma transfusions for COVID patients- are there any?

How are you all staying motivated to keep working out during quarantine. I started off really strong and have just fallen off the wagon with the thoughts of not being normal until the end of the year. Trying to stay motivated and positive, but really struggling.

has anyone left this line of work and done some thing just totally different? I am currently unemployed unfortunately because I was laid off but I am wondering if continuing to do this work it’s just going to further my depression. I feel like part of my depression is the fact that I can’t hold a job but I’m also that family trauma and it’s just a lot. I’m considering becoming a waitress. Is this crazy?

Any Covid care tips?? This is beating my ass currently 😭😭😭

How do you get enough protein per day? Trying to put on some muscle and aiming for about 200g of protein each day and I am struggling to even get near that!!

This is a random question!

Does anyone know if insurers outside health insurance cover/reimburse travel vaccine costs as part of named benefits coverage by employers?

Like of you have a lot of international / extended business travel and need travel vaccines would Lloyd's cover the cost?

Hey all, question about a toxic organization. I’ve rided it out in sales as an AE at an org for 2 years and now I truly feel my mental health suffers. We have “forecast sales meetings” where the Director grills us on deals in front of the entire team. There is inconsistent behavior and 0 accountability from leadership when we don’t hit our sales targets.

Is this a normal thing in sales?

Bath Tub Thought:

Have y’all ever read the book “When You Give a Mouse a Cookie”? I feel as though this book makes sense in the context of both sides whether you are for or against vaccines/masks.

My fiance got Monkey Pox, it's no joke folks. Get the vaccine even if you aren't into the "scene." You rub arms with the wrong person or enter an enclosed space with someone who has mouth sores, it's going to be a bad time.

Is anyone else who works in SPED dealing with students who are coming to school sneezing + coughing, cannot consistently keep masks on, and don’t understand social distancing? I absolutely used to love what I do but I’m feeling extremely anxious about guidelines not being followed within these groups. I am high risk and so are my family members. I don’t know what else to do and it might be time for me to go, but I would miss my students so much. I’m feeling stuck! Please tell me I’m not alone?

Have you experienced depression caused by working in really challenging workplace environments? I am worried this will carry into new roles.

After working a couple jobs that weren’t a good fit I’ve exhibited a lot of procrastination, hopelessness, self isolation, and just lack of care. I’m in therapy but also want to make sure I come into any new role with this in mind so I can do my best.

Stories from people who got recruited off cycle? Is the process faster (Assuming that it might be for a more immediate need)? Tell us your experiences 🙂

How long were you in consulting before you stopped thinking every perceived misstep would get you fired?

I feel like I’m my honeymoon period at my new job is ending. I haven’t had any negative incidents, but it just feels like the vibe has changed. Any thoughts on navigating it?

Hi everyone, anyone working as Assistant Manager IT?? Or working at KNAV india??

First year associate and I feel zero motivation since I started work. I was driven in law school and I’m trying to find that drive again. Wanting to learn and be a good lawyer for some reason isn’t enough. I see myself just waiting for the weekend/deal to be over. Only plan to stay in big law for 3-5 years. Anyone else experience this?

I’m in L&E and want to develop business but am still in a spot where most people who reach out are old classmates likely looking for free legal advice (e.g., question about their employment agreement). How do you all respond to messages asking to set up a call?

For my latest email like this, my current plan is to respond asking for the parties’ names to run a soft conflicts check, and I was thinking about including my hourly rate to make it clear it’s not free. Any tips?

Don’t come back! Do mbb

Best Sleeping Remedies and Meds for long-term use when on stimulants? I keep getting poor sleep and it’s killing me!

Looking for advice/input:

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?

Does anyone else feel like stimulants make you a bit “dyslexic” like make lots of small mistakes, because you just do things quickly without reading it properly

What kind of accommodations can I ask for especially since I work from home? I am having an extremely hard time with the pressure and time constraints on getting the work done. I am a very fast pace worker but it’s like I can’t work fast enough here at this new job. And I don’t know what to ask for.

I’ve taken Adderall for several years & it has helped a lot for my ADHD. However, recently I have been increasingly overwhelmed with balancing work, school, & home life. I am really struggling to manage my symptoms even while taking the maximum ER dosage. I recently started taking Strattera as well, but haven’t noticed much improvement. My doctor has suggested switching to Vyvanse instead. What are your thoughts on Vyvanse vs Adderall? Has anyone has had more success with it?

I joined this group as I did an assessment that confirmed I have traits/markers and may be a part of the neurodiverse universe, ADHD specifically. Can anyone tell me the route you took to getting a true diagnosis and if taking the medication provides a chemical balance only or is your brain going to be altered from taking the medication?

Can you cut 18mg Delmosart (i.e. Concerta) to get 2x 9mg?

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I have really been struggling with work lately. I was diagnosed with ADHD in the winter and prescribed adderall. While it helps me get up and start my day, I still completely lack motivation to actually do anything even as simple as responding to an email. Prior to the ADHD diagnosis I battled with a panic disorder for about the last decade and was prescribed xanax. However my doc didn’t feel comfortable with both scripts so I no longer (cont)

Just a thought... "Change your thoughts and change your world. ~N. Peale
Lately I have changed my thoughts on ADD/ADHD. This conundrum that affects is truly a "Super power" when harnessed effectively there is almost nothing you can't do. Many of the issues and complaints I see are from people that are shaped like clouds trying to fit into a geo metric world. I have been dealing with this for over 40 years and have had various positions. Please share your thoughts.

How to read diligently when on stimulants? Does anyone find it very difficult to slow down how fast they read something and as a result miss critical data points that change their story? If so, what do you do?

I'm watching the film "The Disruptors" and just crying (hellooooo emotional regulation issues). But it's so validating and frustrating at the same time. I've had a terrible several months at work, and I am relating so hard to the struggles even of the school kids in this. Like my boss is the teacher throwing me into the hallway because they are tired of me. It's also comforting to see who has excelled at their passion with it, even if I can't quite find mine and feel like I'm failing.

How do I say to my boss "I constantly drift off in meetings and when you're talking so could you please be more engaging or send this in an email?" without losing my job? Sometimes I'm in a meeting and when I leave I genuinely couldn't tell you what was discussed. Is there a scientific explanation for the brain fog I get with ADHD? Because it sucks.

My new insurance doesn’t cover Vyvanse. Today is my first day not taking it, and I’m really struggling. Any advice would be so appreciated.

I don't know for sure that this is an ADHD thing but does anyone else get really irritated by small things or have trouble regulating their emotions? Especially when you take a day off from medication? I feel like the smallest thing can piss me off, especially in the AM. Am I just not a morning person or this a symptom?

My husband and I are coming to realization that he has ADHD. Where can we start to get a diagnosis and treatment. If diagnosed, would he need to go through medication like adderall or is it something that can be managed with therapy and supplements/lifestyle changes?
