How do you all manage exercise and meds? I take vyvanse and have a peloton, but am kinda scared of the heart rate increase combination. I find the vyvanse takes about 2h to kick in and so I try to take it by 6am otherwise I’m dealing with the “hitting me” feeling when at work (which has resulted in some really embarrassing situations). In the evenings, I’m so hungry that a workout is harder to do plus you never know when the work day will end!

Has anyone’s firm actually given benefits for covid? A friend of mine works for an AI startup and all employees RECEIVED a bonus to “ease tensions” due to working from home in these times.

Please help. At my consultation for wisdom teeth removal, they told me I’d only have $408 out of pocket and insurance would cover the rest. I just got a call that the insurance actually doesn’t not cover the removal of two of the teeth (they need to do a partial removal to avoid nerve damage). The staff said she made in error with what was covered when she told me and the actual out of pocket will be $2,009. Does anyone have any advice?

Started wearing a support belt per my doctors recommendation because I’ve been having pelvic pain. Wore it for the first time today and this baby will not stop moving. Now wondering if I’m choking my baby and maybe she doesn’t like this belt? I haven’t felt the pain I normally feel and no back pain this morning but now I’m feeling bad. I don’t want to have comfort if it’s causing discomfort on my baby. Anyone experienced this?

So I just had 2 tables fight in a restaurant. Table A coughed and table B said oh covid and laughed. Happens that table A is Asian and table B is white.
Table A assumed the joke is because they are Asian and table B says no, everyone got covid not just Asians it’s just a bad joke; who is right?
Table A escalated to a fight and had to be both separated and asked to leave. Who is right?

What's your priority right now - gaining value/experience or getting a higher comp/better benefits/better lifestyle?

Any other fish dealing with finance induced anxiety attacks. I just have been feeling overwhelmed too much lately. It's crippling. I think it's time to move. Will I feel less pressure?

Any attorneys here with ADHD/ADD? I was recently diagnosed ADHD, but it was clear I had it my whole life. It did not materially hinder me until law school, and now it’s pretty debilitating as an associate. Since I have been medicated, some executive functioning has been better but it’s really hit or miss. Anyone have any success stories? Would in-house be easier to manage as there is less executive functioning (ie no timekeeping and billing)? I appreciate any response in advance. Thanks!

I recently left my big law role to start my own firm, and I need health insurance since that was a benefit with my prior firm. Any tips on where to find good coverage? Is it considered a business expense or a tax deduction? I don’t anticipate to be making much income this first year if that makes a difference.

Really struggling right now. My wife doesn’t believe in sleep training or any type of schedule for our firstborn son. He’s over a year now and refuses to nap when we try to put him down. My wife doesn’t care that he takes over an hour every night to fall asleep or sometimes just won’t nap unless we take him for a drive, but being home every day it’s really wearing me down. I support her and love her but our second is on the way and I’m really worried

On my daily run I counted 287 people without a mask in a level red city. NOT OKAY PEOPLE.

Hey former grad students, how long did it take for you to mentally recover?

Feeling really nervous, help! I’ve been using topical hydroquinone 4% since before I found out I was pregnant. Now reading the label I realise that it’s not advised and a category C by the FDA - I’m 6 weeks pregnant and have obviously stopped now but really scared I might have caused serious harm to my baby.

Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am interested in skiing Valle Nevado for a week this summer, has anyone heard of any organized tours that go down there?

I had an international trip planned in April that I postponed, but I still wanna take it this summer. Do you think it’s a bad look to travel even when we’re WFH? With the way they’re talking, we won’t we back in the office until end of summer.

Who else cried during the National Coming Out Day Oreo spot?????

I got an offer for a 3-mo contingent role at Meta as a CSM that pays more than double what I make now.

The pay rate makes it hard (if not impossible) to say no - but I'm apprehensive about accepting a contract offer, especially one that's only 3-months  ending on Jan 2.

Obviously, I'm already thinking about what I'd do next. I'd love to stay in tech. Just curious if anyone has experience with a short-term contract & what the job-search process looks like during/after the contract expires.

Seriously wanna divorce my wife who’s not necessarily a bad person but I feel angry about her all the time. I always have to fight with her over the small things. I feel she’s playing a power game and trying to take control whenever she gets the chance.

The only moment she steps back and be the person I want is when I get really angry and she can sense it. Why do I have to do this every time to get peace?

No kids, but even I am not afraid to divorce, I don’t feel it’s worth it!

Can anyone tell me the differences (whether pros or cons) they’ve noticed between Adderall and any of the alternatives out there? I’ve only taken adderall for years but am considering switching. Wise?

I’m looking to exit my current firm. I know this isn’t the typical place for this type of post, but I always try to look for an accepting environment before I make moves. ADHD-friendly teams are a dream to work on. The impact it makes when you’re senior leadership knows how you are is everything in my experience.

How are we coping with this adderall shortage??? My pharmacy can’t even order it 😳. Ahhhhh.

A standing desk in my home office has done wonders for my attention and therefore my productivity. Something about being on my feet keeps me focused. Anyone else share this sentiment? I’d look into this if people are interested.

Can you please share tips on optimizing home office setup to deal with ADHD and organizing emails/notes/to-dos etc. Starting a new job in 2 months and would like use this time to set myself up for success.

Does anyone have experience with non-stimulant medication? I’ve had bad anxiety from Adderall in the past and I don’t know what to ask for when I see my doc.

How do you read text-heavy documents when on stimulants? I find it difficult to focus after day 2 / 3 on stimulants but somehow on Modafinil and coffee much better at reading and speed reading
