I was on Adderall for much of college and the early part of my careers. I had to go off due to negative side effects. My doctor recommended I take Wellbutrin for my “adult” adhd. Anyone have experience using Wellbutrin for adhd?

I have very acne prone skin with a lot of peach fuzz. I'm considering dermaplaning but worried about breakouts and other problems. Any suggestions on how to get rid of facial hair for acne prone skin apart from laser?

It’s been one of those days. Crying nonstop and feeling just AWFUL. The thing is, can’t even pinpoint what is giving me so much agony. Probably the current state of the world and my life but that’s largely unchanged since a month or so ago. So why does a day like today happen out of nowhere? Does this happen to anyone else? How do you deal?

I’m really not cut out for corporate America. I’m only 3 months into my new job and my anxiety is through the roof again. I don’t see a way out to make a decent living for myself. I feel lost and tired. I cried today and feel incapable even though I know I really tried my best.

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

If I am vaccinated and go to a bar or house party where other people are all maskless, I don’t think I should be shamed by PC friends the day after who say you are putting others at risk even though I don’t really put anyone at risk outside of the idiots taking a much larger risk unvaccinated at these superspreaders (live alone, home gym, order all meals and/or grocery, masked up all other places)

Any advice on managing expectations? I’ve always had this dream to move to Europe for a couple years and travel the continent. The older I get the more I realize this will never happen for me. However, I see my friends doing it and it really cuts deep because I realize I can’t achieve my dreams. How do you deal with accepting things like this? It’s really taking a toll on my mental health and overall ability to be happy.

If I want to go to an AA meeting do I just show up? What happens my first time? Do I have to quit drinking before I go to one/ be committed to quitting before going? How many people are at these? Is there a time/day of week that is best to go? How often do people in AA have to go to meetings? Does it cost anything once you join? I just can’t shake the feeling that my luck is going to run out. Not a daily drinker, but blackout when I do. Thx.

What would be the best way to lose fat on my legs?

Just weight train everything and my legs will lose fat? Or can I do something more specific?

Heard this morning that Greg Abbott (TX gov) has issued an emergency order related to COVID…to reiterate the prohibition on local mask mandates. Imagine if leaders on the right used their bully pulpit to say “get the shot” instead of turning ppl against everything the govt does to try to get this under control. If there was one consistent message from ALL our leaders, nobody would need to talk about mandating anything.

Curious to know on average what Staff Claims Adjusters are making at the big names like State Farm, USAA, Geico, Nationwide, etc. I have been doing this for 4 years, have a degree & industry specific designations - I am starting to feel like I am being underpaid and manipulated not to believe so! 🆘

Should whistleblowers be treated as spies? Discuss.

Recently started a book about politics and the author argues that we (the educated, professional class) are to blame for polarization. Since we are well paid and generally unaffected regardless of who is in power, our positions on issues can be uncompromising. Furthermore, we don’t go out and really engage in campaigns. This is because we’d rather argue amongst ourselves from home. This leads to vacuums where bad actors can take up the mantle of leadership. What do you think about that?

Any thoughts on insight partners onsite insight team ( basically their internal consulting team)?

Is there a type of in-house work that’s more focused on legal research/legal questions/dilemmas b/w law and ethics? Just finding commercial work to be boiling down to "be the literate person in a room full of people pretending to be illiterate"…

Do you think all adhd-ers work better from home? Since transitioning out of the office completely it's been so much easier for me to schedule things around my energy levels rather than try to turn it on for work and off when I get home. Anybody else feel this way or do you love working in the office?

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?

Has anyone else tried Strattera, had success, and a few months later felt like work was a struggle again? Am I imagining it?

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?

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

How did you figure out you had ADHD? Official diagnosis? Or did you research the symptoms yourself first? Read a Time article this morning saying that TikTok opened a lot of peoples eyes to the fact that they have ADHD.

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 🥴

This question was asked in my company bowl: Be brutally honest. Are you more or less productive WFH?

Everyone in the comments said more productive at home and I'm curious if this bowl would have a different consensus. I'm way more productive in the office, although I don't go that often, so maybe it's the change of scenery that helps.

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.

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