A friend of mine told me I should have Narcan on hand for my boyfriend who does coke sometimes. I'm firmly against it. He knows I hate when he does it and I don't want the emotional weight of carrying it around in my purse. Like, if he's going to do that, he should carry his own damn Narcan. Am the asshole? She thinks I'm being cruel since it can be lifesaving and you can get it for free.

Below is EY’s return to office plan in case you are curious (it is posted publicly on other sources too). Every firm will handle the pandemic differently but if they handle it like us, buckle up for a long ride.

I wish some physicians weren't so dismissive of patient's natural remedies, or things like acupuncture. Whatever works, as long as the patient is getting taken advantage of.

Staying off social media/news/internet is hard during quarantine but getting on is just so heartbreaking, builds anxiety and depressing.

I recently tried quitting everything last Sunday, with drew all last week and then relapsed Friday, Saturday and Sunday worst withdrawals I ever had (cold sweats, shaking, wasn’t sure I would survive). I’m through the worst of it now but any advice? Thought about rehab but can’t stop work. This is probably my 9th time trying to go sober during the pandemic. I live alone so the isolation with the pandemic has extremely escalated my usage to the point of about a bottle of a day on weekdays

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.

Is it fraud or somehow bad to just start and quit a 2nd job every 1-2 months once you actually start to have to do real work? The first few weeks of most jobs tend to be pretty low stress and an easy paycheck or 2. And if you only do this at employers you wouldn't return to, is there a downside?

I like someone at work, but can’t bring myself to go for her out of fear of getting fired or something

What were you like as children? I was terrible at elementary school and was labeled “lazy” and “disorganized,” despite my best efforts. I didn’t really get it together until high school and then law school just made me feel dumb. I am an excellent mid level associate though so go figure 🤷🏽‍♀️

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

I know I’ve seen a few similar posts before in the past, but do you guys have preferred/recommended apps to keep you organized and productive with work? I have my work calendar and synced through outlook on my phone, but just looking for suggestions to keep everything as organized as possible.

My job (biglaw, finance, midlevel) is a poor fit overall — both in the adhd sense and more broadly in that it doesn’t really play to my strengths. I am also your usual high achieving people pleaser (such a common species in this job). The combination of all of the above means I am unhappily slogging uphill to be a B/B+ associate in a job that doesn’t interest me in the least. I am planning to make a change in the spring. If what I wrote resonates, are you happier in-house? Any other thoughts?

Do you ever feel like you should write off some of your time because of your ADHD? Im in big law and I know things take me longer than they should.

My doc sent me the wrong prescription this month (20 mg IR, which was my old prescription, instead of 30 mg XR). I forgot how bad the IR headaches and crash were…

Does anyone else struggle with remembering to eat lunch on busy days? I totally forget to feed myself and end up tired and cranky by the end of the day because of it.

Another billing question, this one for the litigators: what are your go-to narratives for all of the time that gets sucked up by dealing with emails on super active cases? I’m newly assigned to a matter that actually requires task billing instead of block billing AND that has tons of email traffic that I have to read—but not necessarily act on—to stay on top of the case.

Ok I gotta do something about my disorganization and procrastinating and fast. My firm has no organization/case management tools, apps, etc, or willingness to aquire any, so it's got to be something I can do on my own. Anybody actually overcome this stuff ever? I will take all tips.

Second year at lit boutique. Being asked to draft a lot of briefs from scratch. Work product is great but I take way too long. Not necessarily procrastinating. I just struggle to get a flow state. I rewrite the same sentences over and over. Constantly restructure outline. Always stop to check westlaw. I want to just power through a first draft and add cites/revise prose later. But can’t figure out. Flow state only comes when I’m backed against a wall. Currently on medication. Any other tips?

Has anyone had any experience with online platforms prescribing ADHD medications? I’ve seen ads for Done and wanted others input. I was diagnosed 21 years ago and have been treated by doctors every month since, so I don’t need an initial diagnosis. But my health insurance changed and my doctor is no longer covered. I can’t get in to a new doctor without a long wait, nor do I have time to take off work for the appointment, which is why I was leaning towards a virtual appointment. Thanks!
