I had a discussion about a role I applied for. It’s right up my alley. My past experiences aligns with the role. Also I enjoy connecting and working directly with people. However it was mentioned if so-so ask for a report you will have to put it together. This person is high up there which really intimidates me. It’s something I’m working on. I’m really worried but not because I don’t think I’ll get the job, I believe I will. It’s this erie feeling of pulling reports and it not being good enoug

Thank you. I completely forgot it’s called imposter syndrome. This is something I struggle with. I’m still working through a lot. But I won’t give up

Look at sample reports and just follow their model. I don't see the big deal.

Thanks. That’s what I plan on doing. It’s just the voice inside this ADHD it won’t be good enough.

If you have a teammate or mentor who can spot-check your work before you publish it, even better, but make sure you do your due diligence as much as possible. Make sure you got all your proverbial ducks in a row, i's dotted and t's crossed. You got this!

Does anyone with adhd ever feel like they just can’t wake up? I feel so lazy but I want to be so productive. Also, lately when I take my medicine I can’t even focus on work just other things.

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?

Stimulants and sweating! I’m going back to the office and never used them while in the office, I don’t want to look or be sweaty haha any advice? I also don’t want to look weird drinking 6L of water as I do in person

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.
