That sounds rough. Hope you start to experience less stress and feel better.

Oh gosh, please take some time to rest!!

My mom is older, and also has this condition. Nowadays to avoid irritating people or conversation she will fake stomach pain (bend over a bit and put an arm on her belly) and sigh "please, I cannot talk about this right now. You're giving me gas". Knowing she is faking all the people out is endlessly hilarious to me.

How did you get diagnosed? For example, did you go to a doc specifically about this or did it come out of a therapy session etc.? I ha feel like I may have something but other signs indicate otherwise.

Running shoe recommendations? I need something that provides a lot of support (knee/IT band issues), and if possible, a shoe with a lacing mechanism that won’t put pressure on the top of my foot. The only shoe that doesn’t cause pain on the top of my foot is the Nike Infinity React, but heel slippage is a big problem. I’ve tried ladder lacing techniques and that hasn’t helped. Recommendations would be great.

I’ve had back pain, either in lower back or sciatic nerve for the past 8 months. I got released from physical therapy around the holidays because I was making improvements and wasn’t in pain. However, since returning to work and working busy season hours it’s difficult to stay seated for most of the day. I bought a standing desk, but was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I need to make some serious changes as I’m 27 and should not have this much back pain so young 😢

Pregnant with my first, due 3rd week of April. My husband has an optional work trip in February for a few days, and asked if I was comfortable with him going.

Table A escalated to a fight and had to be both separated and asked to leave. Who is right?

Just had my NIPT/Nuchal Translucency at 12w4d IVF pregnancy and the sonographer said everything looks fine but she wants me to come back in 5 weeks and then again a month later to do the scans again so she can get a clearer picture. She said baby is measuring slightly lower than it should, but it could be that doctors were a few days off on due date (is that a thing with IVF??). She also referred me to get a fetal echo at 20 weeks. Is this normal? I called OB, waiting for her to call me back.

I’ve taken Adderall for several years & it has helped a lot for my ADHD. However, recently I have been increasingly overwhelmed with balancing work, school, & home life.

My doctor has suggested switching to Vyvanse instead. What are your thoughts on Vyvanse vs Adderall? Has anyone has had more success with it?

I’m a 9th year in Big Law and have been struggling to get much work done the last 1.5 months. Mentioned this to my doctor at my recent visit, and she offered to increase my Vyvanse dosage, but I told her I wanted to see if it got better soon. I’m wondering now if it’s burnout. Anyone else experience burnout and see a decrease in the effectiveness of your meds, and if so, how did you overcome it?

Update: a couple weeks ago I posted about disclosing my diagnosis to HR at my firm. We had a meeting ab 2 weeks ago and have been continuing the convo since. The firm is giving me a lot of the accommodations that I asked for, incl. daily reminders for time entry, written/verbal instructions, and weekly meetings with a mentor to review what I’m working on and help me plan/stay on track. There are still some pieces being worked out, (cont’d in comments)…

Does anyone have experience breaking up w a therapist? I've been seeing my therapist for 5+ years for eating disorder treatment and we've been through so much together, but I don't think she's able to help me anymore. While I've stopped my ED behaviors, they've evolved into OCD, and I'm finding that her methods might be making it worse. I think I want to try an OCD expert instead. But I don't know how to end the relationship. Do I just stop going? Do I explain myself? I don't know what to do 🥺

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've always had trouble with things like attention, focusing, and feeling constantly overwhelmed. I started to feel hopeless, feeling burnt out (even worse than my old job).

I was diagnosed as Primarily Inattentive and they are starting me on meds immediately. Will things get better from here? Will, I finally become a productive human being? Should I tell my manager?
