I was recently diagnosed with ADHD and just started medication treatment, and I didn’t realize something was missing this entire time. My brain finally feels so calm!!

Studying for the bar, and my first 2 years of practice exacerbated my symptoms so badly. I couldn’t keep up with the long hours at work! I feel like I have a fighting chance now!

Ok second IVF. 12 eggs 8 made to day 5 and now going thru PGA test. Fingers crossed... need some good energy and confidence before the FET again!

Is anyone's agency putting into place travel or work from home policies in response to the coronavirus? I have to admit, I'm terrified. I have an underlying condition that would make pneumonia deadly.

Hypothetically speaking: if someone started Couch to 5K today and kept on progressing with their running with the intention of joining races at every level along the way, how long could it take to be able to run a full marathon?

Real question: how does a hospital system using a leading EHR not know where in the facility a patient is? Father brought in via ambulance at 215pm.....and when my mother called a few hours later for an update on his status they had no idea where he was. She played “transfer me to Dept X bingo” (ED, med/surg, OR, PACU), til she found a nurse who knew where he was. How does this happen?

RIP to all the victims on that day and RIP to all the muslims who lost their lives in the aftermath (including up to today) because of islamophobia. #NeverForget

Experience with SSRIs? My doc prescribed one to me for anxiety (especially because I have physical anxiety symptoms I can’t seem to kick, like jaw pain, stomach issues, etc).

What’s the silliest thing someone has said to you regarding data? Mine: My kids Catholic preschool director stated there’s no such thing as false positives (irt C-19, but I don’t want that to be the focus here).

Dog moms and dads: My dog has always had anxiety, but it’s gotten a lot worse lately because people around me like fireworks. If I bring her into my bedroom, even if it’s quiet outside, she starts panicking. Anyone found any soothing remedies for your pup? The thunder jacket doesn’t really help.

Has anyone gotten to the point where it is physically painful to try and concentrate? Not sure what to do at this point; had Ritalin for a bit, but I adjusted in like 10 days before the benefits went away. Now I’m scared I’ll just keep getting worse

Tips to decrease my soda consumption. I drink 2 cans of Coke Zero per day and recently read that older women that drink soda, even calorie fee, are at increased risk of stroke so I’d like to nip this habit in the bud now. Instead of quitting cold turkey I’m looking for seltzer water flavor suggestions or at home machines that match the carbonation of soda. I really enjoy the fizz and taste. TIA

Hi Fishes,

I am a tester at level 10, working in a US project. We have our agile meetings in US timings.But the thing which annoys me the most is we work in whole day and then we sometimes have to attend the meetings till 9:30 pm IST at night.We are told to login late next day but still my productivity falls after 8:30 pm.I feel that attending these EST meetings is the duty of the onsite lead. My onsite lead expects us to attend those meetings till 9:30 pm.Kindly suggest.What should I be doing

Does your firm do anything for yearly work anniversaries? It’s obviously not a big deal but I made it to a year at a firm with high attrition (at least ten associates in our division alone have left in my time here) and have received no acknowledgement of this fact. Nor have I heard anything about a year review. I’d take an atta boy and pat on the back.

I was diagnosed with ADHD in the first grade along with dyslexia and dysgraphia. I’m also positive that I should have been diagnosed with dyscalculia. Sometimes in my work, I say/do/write things that are obvious symptoms of these disabilities but my mentor attorney acts like I’m just making lazy, stupid mistakes. Does anyone else still feel like these childhood learning disabilities are not acknowledged as a real thing by adults?

Big law. I liked it because it provided the panic-like environment that keeps me motivated enough to do work, but I’m struggling because being in a constant state of panic is extremely exhausting physically and mentally. But I’m having a hard time getting motivated if there is no fire drill. Anyone found anything on that has helped?

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?

How do you stealthily ask for help? I see a lot of you mentioning that you ask your partners to give you deadline, have your assistant check in, etc. That sounds great, but I'm so nervous about looking like the odd one out or revealing my ADHD in the process. So I haven't brought myself to do it yet.

Started Zoloft and it’s helping with my anxiety but I feel like my sense of timing may have gotten even worse than before…? anyone else experience that or other random side effects on Zoloft…?

Can anyone offer advice for helping with adderall side effects? I was diagnosed a few months ago and I am new to medication. I have been taking 20 mg xr in the morning but have a terrible crash around 2/3pm each day where I just get very very tired. Doctor recommended 10mg ir mid day to combat but I still experience pretty severe fatigue as a side effect. Just wondering if anyone has found any natural strategies to cope or mitigate. Thanks!

About to start adderall and im terrified it will make me disassociate / zone out more. Im trying it for the first time on the weekend to be home in case I trip out mentally but has anyone experienced this?
