What would be the best way to lose fat on my legs?

I feel like the parts of ADHD that don't suck aren't talked about that much (and I need a reminder, desperately). The one thing I like is my ability (when I can get my brain to work) to focus hard and get something done in a short amount of time. If I'm really locked in, I can get a serious amount of work done fast. feel free to add yours (please lmao💀).

Responded to medical rfe on Monday. Status on uscis site is not updated. That was my first time sending something on my own so I’m a bit worried. Is this normal?

Forgot to take my meds last night. Feeling so much anxiety now 😞

Just wanted to share this with people who would understand. Had 4 IEP meetings last week. When the case manager asked one mother if she had any concerns she said her only concern was that her kindergarten son with autism loved me so much she was afraid of him being promoted and being out of my room. I told her not to worry, in our program I will have him for 2 more years. Boy that made me feel good.

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space. People who aren’t diagnosed generally have misconceptions about ADHD and its symptoms, and I’m so grateful we have this bowl to seek help, learn from one another, and sometimes just vent! With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!

Western nc CTE interview questions? How do I prepare?

I’ve recently graduated with a chemical engineering degree from Texas A&M university. I was unable to get an internship during my time as a student, but I’ve held jobs (mainly customer-service based) throughout college.

One quote I found useful: “We overestimate how much we can do in a year and underestimate how much we can do two or three decades” - Tony Robbins

I think this really applies to us...

Idk if it’s from the years of mental/emotional abuse or lack of boundaries / respect, but seeing my family has become awkward and tough. I went home for dinner today and just like other times - we don’t talk or I have to force conversation (so plans this weekend or what you do this week). I’m the oldest and trying to set an example for my sister but it’s tough. Idk if anyone else can relate. I legit came over for 1.5 hrs and left.

See a therapist. Talking about it in person helps.

Does anyone else ever feel like they wish something would happen and they would just die a martyr? I have no intention of self harm but I’ve been depressed for exactly half of my life this year and I’ve made so many wrong choices. I’m just so tired.

Girlfriend has very obvious high functioning anxiety and body image issues that she admits but thinks she doesn’t need therapy or medication and that reading self-help books will help her. It’s not changing in the last several years and it’s impacting our relationship. Anyone have experience with their SO dealing with untreated anxiety? I know I can’t control her but would like to express my feelings without sending her into a spiral. For context, I’ve been in therapy for 12 months and medicated

I just wanted to thank all you folks that contribute to this bowl. For me personally, its helpful to know that i’m not alone with struggles that we all seem to face. Thanks!

Do any of you have days when you start getting rid of all of your stuff? I think of end of life ceremonies a lot, so when I see all my stuff, I get overwhelmed by it bigtime and want to sell it off.

Those who find happiness intrinsically, how do you do it? I’ve always sought things and people to be happy. I’ve been less happy after college and the pandemic doesn’t help. Growing up, our family constantly moved (3 continents, 4 countries) and it was always difficult to make friends. I can’t complain to people about this because then I sound like the privileged prick who gets to travel and lives a arguably good life. Sorry for the rant 😔

Honest discussion about burn out: it is with you for the long run.
I burnt out at my last job and the job before that and now I’m at a really good firm that has no set billable hours and a really manageable workload, but it’s still difficult to get any work done. It will take a long time to fully recover from burn out.

On the verge of a breakdown. Is requesting time off for mental health reasons OK? My team is overloaded with work and I don’t want to let them down

It’s been one of those days. Crying nonstop and feeling just AWFUL. The thing is, can’t even pinpoint what is giving me so much agony. Probably the current state of the world and my life but that’s largely unchanged since a month or so ago. So why does a day like today happen out of nowhere? Does this happen to anyone else? How do you deal?

What happens in therapy sessions? How did they help you? How did you express your objectives, other than "help me feel better"?
