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?

Just took a walk through my very hard-hit neighborhood in Brooklyn and am a little baffled by the people upset by the “lockdown.” (Cont’d)

I’ve been in a pretty dark place for the past week or so. The structure of my day-to-day helps me to compartmentalize and prioritize my tasks over dwelling on my thoughts, but it’s still really hard to give a shit about anything that I’m doing. Anyone have any tips in navigating this?

(For background: I’m diagnosed bipolar and medicated, and have been in touch w my therapist about this already. Just curious to see if anyone else is relating at the moment so I feel less alone, and to see if anyone has any coping mechanisms I might not have tried yet)

Thx 🐠🐟🐡😘

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

Need motivation to start running. How did y’all get back into it after getting out of it and becoming out of shape? Anyone?

Curious to hear others’ stories about the positive changes they experienced (mentally and physically) after they quit drinking....I am thinking about quitting again - mainly to improve my mental and physical state.

Hello fellow 🚲 🐠!!! Anyone participating in the PanMass Challenge this August?! I am new to cycling and will do a one-day ride on Sunday. It’d be fun to connect before and after- I finish in Ptown!

I started Zoloft almost 2 months ago. It’s helped with my anxiety and depression but I’m worried I’m feeling the emotional numbing/blunting. I say this because 1) my car died and I did not care to call AAA until my bf insisted and 2) I have an interview for a job in 2 hrs I really want yet I cannot care to interview prep. I just feel so blasé about everything. I took off work thinking I’d interview prep but so far have just lounged around watching TV. Any advice? I need to get my head straight.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

Edibles for insomnia - has anyone tried before?

Feb 2020: IUI leading to miscarriage at 7 weeks. August 2020: IVF frozen transfer (ICSI), miscarriage at 6 weeks. February 2021: IVF transfer #2, went for 8 week US today, baby’s measuring on track, heart rate of 170, I saw the heart beat and baby gave a little wiggle. Graduated from our fertility clinic, with 10 week US scheduled for
2 weeks from today. For now....the happiness is real (I’m the hubby btw).

What were your go-to resources when learning about elective egg freezing and IVF? Things you wished you’d known?

Needing good resources for COVID training...

I’ve been helping couples navigate the challenges of infertility for over 20 years now. Recently, I’ve noticed more couples feeling apprehensive to continue treatment because they are worried about potential repercussions if they miscarry during the IVF process. Honestly, I’m not sure how to reassure them because I also feel afraid, but I just want to continue supporting these wonderful couples & families. I would be heartbroken if they ended up suffering more because of their treatments. I’m just feeling so conflicted & sad today after meeting with a couple who decided to postpone treatment.

Hi fishes, I have only one house property. But when I tried selecting ITR-1 for filing income tax, it shows a message in red mentioning I should select either ITR-2 or 3 since I have income from more than 1 house property. Should I go ahead and file with ITR-1 or do I need to get correction somewhere before filing the return?

How do I go about getting a car loan so I can walk into a dealer with the loan already secure, but I don’t know the final selling price of the car? I want to lock in an interest rate now, so kinda “pre-approve” myself for the maximum amount I want to spend, but I will likely not actually spend that much to buy the car. I.e locking in a interest rate for $45k/60mo now, but might only use $35k at time of purchase.

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.

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

Do you just have adhd, or adhd + another diagnosis? Wondering if most of us are neurodivergent in more ways than one

Anyone feel like self-control is more difficult on stimulants in general? Like reflecting back on things, thinking before speaking, holding out on pleasure activities

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess. Knowing that is figurative, what should I actually be expecting? I feel mostly the same, I think, though I came in and actually did started my work today. But I mean, somedays I do that...I just don't want to psyche myself out if I'm expecting too much. Or pscyhe myself in if I actually might not be experiencing what I should.

Does ADHD have a big impact on your memory? It feels like if I don't have constant reminders set or leave notes for myself I can forget ANYTHING even if it's really important to me. I think it's making my partner feel like I don't remember the things they say or don't care to listen. What can I do?? Not on medication but if it helps with this I'd take it.

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!

Anyone have recommendations for ADHD coaches, preferably focused on managing it in a senior-level role? Also preferably if focused on the female ADHD experience. Open to remote coaching with folks in other locations but I'm based in NYC.

For my fellow women with ADHD:
Do you notice that your crash points are during your menstrual cycle? I have depression too so the hormone changes really affect me and I am an emotional wreck/bi-polar (beyond what is normal PMS type behavior). I am a healthcare executive and it is affecting work relationship and meds aren’t helping (depression nor ADHD meds). I just feel very defeated and don’t know what to do. I hate my brain 🥴

What are your best tools for self-motivation at work? There are days when it takes a huge amount of effort for me to get started and in the groove and I'm looking for ways to make work days easier.
