Anyone had luck finding a good therapist who actually understands ADHD? Getting advice like "try taking a walk every day" and "practice these breathing exercises" is driving me crazy. I need actual solutions and shit, not just platitudes and internet worksheets.

I’ve dealt with ADHD my entire life, although was just diagnosed last year. Throughout my career (assurance>industry>consulting), I’ve been able to “outwork” everyone else in the office to counter the lack of focus and other associated faux pas associated with the disorder. Recently have hot a point where I can’t put in the hours (3 yo/fam), and my work has taken a major hit. Anyone in consulting/assurance have any methods for managing this when it comes to PM duties?

Maybe we could try working together (although I have no pets so we might need to do it at yours).

So, recently seen a lot of (great) posts about weight loss and plateauing, but genuinely surprised to see that many are relying on cutting out food, but not focused on exercising. Why is this the case? There are SO many benefits to health from exercising, beyond just weight loss...

My mom is mid-50s and has started having what appear to be mini blackouts. Her face contorts like she is laughing or crying, and she is unresponsive for 5-10 seconds. When we ask her what is wrong, she has no idea what we are talking about and no memory of the event.

Any idea what this might be or how to even begin the diagnostics?

Has anyone been able to schedule an appointment for a booster shot? If so any tips? I can’t seem to find any open appointments. Is there anywhere that’s accepting walk ins?

Everyone says we need to find "a cure for cancer" and YES, definitely, but there are so many different types that we need at least 50 separate cures. More complex than people give it credit for. What does everyone here think?

What happened here? I refinanced my student loans in November 2019 and got a 10-year variable at ~2.5% pegged to LIBOR. When 2020 hit, LIBOR tanked and my interest rate went down to 0.75%. Looking at similar loans now, I can’t find anything close to this rate. Is this just a quirk of my original timing?

Mega backdoor question - I wanted to take advantage of this while it still existed so I contributed to after tax 401k the last few paychecks. Is the correct process to do a withdrawal/rollover directly to my Roth IRA account? It seems like I can do a direct deposit from the 401k but it is asking if this is a checking or savings account which seems wrong.

What withdrawal rights do you use in your model? Is 2% too conservative? 4% too aggressive? Also how does retiring early factor in? Does the traditional 4% assume you are retiring at 65?
