I just started meds yesterday and the change in my focus and attention to detail is mind blowing. My only concern is, just yesterday I had a tough feedback session with my manager around how I’m taking too long to complete my work, giving them anxiety around close deadlines. I’m new in the job (3 months in). Should I explain anything about my adhd to my manager or just wait for them to notice the change in me?

Any female 🐠 have tips for getting ready after a morning workout?

I lost my last job a few weeks before Christmas last year and it took me a long while to find a new one. Ultimately I ended up moving to a new city for a job I was really excited about. However, within the first few weeks I suffered a major medical setback which led to a crippling bout of depression. I am finally starting to feel like a person again but I'm afraid the ship has sailed on my having success in my new role.

What’s the best advice/strategy you’ve adopted for lawyering with ADHD?

Well, got my annual physical, and I have high blood pressure, just shy of hypertension. I work out, eat very healthy and I’m fairly young. I think the likely culprit is the stress of producing because they found no other health reasons that would cause it.

Has anyone else in the bowl dealt with HBP related to work stress? If so, was there anything you did that helped address it? As stressful as it is, I love producing, and I don’t like the idea of leaving the field if I can manage it.

Concerning, as a pediatrician, to think about the effect this pandemic will have on young minds used to seeing faces and interacting with the world

Has anyone been approved for short term disability for depression? What was the process like?

Hi friends - need a suggestion. My mother got critically ill due to Covid and has been in the hospital in India for over a month with added complications. Hospital charges are through the roof and it is a long road ahead of us. Are there financial aids, options available to explore to meet the expenses? We are salaried people and parents are retired. We are exploring loan options and wanted to check with this group for other creative ways to manage. Thanks a lot for the help!

5 months into quarantine already. Feel like it has been years, life is literally just passing me by

How is everyone staying motivated at work while going through fertility treatments? On days when I have appts or get my period, all I want to do is google and read forums about it. My utilization is tanking (not because I’m blowing off work, but because I need to find and take on new work) but can’t get the energy to). I’ve told my manager about what I’m going through and she is supportive, but feeling guilty when I hear about how busy everyone around me is and I just can’t find the motivation.

Was back in the office for the first time since Covid. It’s been really nice seeing everyone again and rekindling old relationships but something about being back just feels off to me.
Covid changed a lot and it’ll be tough to go back to the old ways but it all just feels so different. Idk if I’m in culture shock or this just isn’t for me anymore. Has anyone else felt this?

I lied about having COVID to get out of a family reunion.

Ladies, have you ever had a week of insomnia or irregular sleep pattern during your menstrual cycle? Like not getting deep REM sleep?

My husband is an alcoholic and it’s getting worse with the holidays. He’s started every day drinking high alcohol-content IPAs as early as 8am. And he drinks them all day and all night like soda. He did AA when he was younger but is now vehemently against it. He is high-functioning. Has a PhD from MIT and works for a venture capitalist firm. I wondered how he gets through the day, but he started to come home early (mid-afternoon) and immediately open a beer while working. What should I do?

I’ve found online AA meetings, but I’m struggling with drug cravings. Anyone know of online NA meetings? thanks!

Male. Worked in-house. Manager & Director (F) didn’t like me. Pretty much gaslit me to the point where i was making errors, anxious, and depressed. Just found out they’re doing It to 2 other males...

What made you decide against pursuing a master’s?

Today is my last day at work. Suprisingly on my way out this afternoon I met the CEO. He was like I don't think we have met. Told him no that my name is X and I'm one of the toxicologist. His response: so you are a consultant? I was like no I work with Y in the product safety department. He asked how long i have been with the company. Told him 18 months and told him that i had to run. I feel like I was non existant in the company and the ceo is not aware...[rest in comments]

Currently interviewing at JPMorgan in their CIB division for a associate operations role. Have met with 5 people for two different teams and another person for another team, all of which I believe are 3 total open positions for 3 different teams. Any insight on the interview process or how long it takes or any sort of idea to give me on what I could look for that might help me believe I might get an offer? Checked my online application again recently and still says “In Consideration”

Hey guys I’m working from home and the ADHD is killing my productivity. I get my work done but it takes me forever and I just keep getting ADHD paralysis. What are some of your best tips and tricks for getting your brain functioning again on task?

I have a manager that does not seem to understand mental illnesses, disorders, etc. He thinks I am making excuses rather than trying to explain things (I have diagnosed ADHD, anxiety, and depression) and I’m trying to take ownership for issues but also help him understand what I am describing better as well. We are sitting down for a conversation later this week. Any advice on how to gently educate or help with his understanding of neurodivergence and other mental health considerations?

Scale 1-10 (10 being “tear my hair out bad”), how badly do you procrastinate?

When it is not an urgent or time bound task, I tend to not finish tasks but my mind wanders to some other tasks. How do you stay on task ? Would love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

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.

Is there a way I can use my ADHD to trick myself into exercising more? Some way to make it seem more fun or trigger the dopamine? I love the results but dread working out.

Does anyone know a good psychiatrist in NJ ?
