I’ve been recently diagnosed with ADHD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It wasn’t as debilitating before starting to work full time, which was only about 5 years ago, so I’m still trying to figure it all out. I’ve been taking Adderall and going to therapy to help me develop better strategies to deal with it, but it’s been really hard. I do not want children and the more I think about it, the more I’ve realized that it’s because I have more than enough on my plate with just getting through work and life in general with a brain that doesn’t cooperate well.

Having my weekly crisis here. I feel like I’ve ruined my career by doing insurance defense at the same firm for 8 years.

The only options seem to be the miserable sweatshop ID shops everyone says to steer clear from. Thinking about a career change to selling cars so I can make more money. Really having a meltdown

My friend who I have known for 10 years recently became really weird about paying me back for things and I’m not sure how to handle it. We went to a group dinner and everyone paid me back but her, I assumed she forgot and let it go. We went out to grab a drink yesterday, I had one glass of wine, she had 3 cocktails and then ordered a meal, when the bartender asked how we wanted to split the check she quickly said “you can just split it evenly”. I ended up paying $55 for my glass of wine (cont)
