I’m so over the cross-examination at CVS every time I have to fill a prescription. Are you really trying to play doctor right now????

Maybe TMI but has anyone had spotting a few days before FET? I just started the progesterone last night, and I’m on 6 estrogen patches. Today I have spotting. What does this mean?

For those of you working from home, do you know whether your coworkers will be throwing a baby shower for you? I feel like without being visibly pregnant to most people (since we are not in the office), I feel like I’m going to miss out on having one which is kind of a bummer since I’ve always gotten gifts for others.

Has anyone tried DBT for anxiety? Just want to hear experiences and if/how it helped you.

Started taking Zoloft for ppd 3 months ago. It’s working. I am taking 50 mg and want to increase my dosage to see how much better it can get. Should I do it? I’d have to lie to my doctor about it so they can increase my dosage

Hi folks, need your help! Just found out that we’re pregnant (we were not actively trying so kinda surprised 🙈). What brand prenatal vitamins would you recommend? I’m seeing mixed suggestions on Folic vs. Folate - which one is important?

Please guide me and let me know if there is anything else I need to do at this moment. I’ve contacted my OB as well. I’m so worried. Thanks!

I feel so low 😥 How do you stay motivated when everything you do doesn’t pay off? I have been trying to lose weight for so many years now, tried so many different approaches. I lose a little bit, and then gain it all back :( it has screwed up my self-esteem and confidence so much 😭

Whenever I do sit-ups - like if I do 5, my tailbone hurts so bad. I want to do more, but the pain really hurts. Is there something around this/ something I could buy, so I can actually do more than 5 without my tailbone aching?

What’re folks thinking about loans for school (private/fed/combo)? Given rates are rising and there is no chance Biden stops the interest moratorium/May cancel some amount, I am thinking taking some federal may be worth it now.

I've worked as a maid for a long time but am tired of driving to everyone's homes, so I'm thinking of trying out a job as a housekeeper in a hotel. Is there anyone out there who has done both jobs and can tell me a bit about the differences? I would appreciate any advice at all.

Is anyone looking to hire someone for remote work immediately? I’ll take anything. I work for a parish government and it’s sooooo hard to accrue time off. I’m an extremely hard worker. I just never have time for dentist appointments, doctor appointments, or even personal things like exercise because I spend all my time commuting and in a physical office. I can send a resume and/or CV ASAP.

For those who have, when/why did you deliberately slow down your career, stop aiming for rapid professional growth, and stop trying to be above average in your job?
For those who haven't, why not? Do you know when you will and will you be able to recognize that point when you get there?

How long have you stayed in your apartments before searching for a new one? What made you move?

Dear Lean folk,

Hello fishes,

what wi-fi should i get? i wfh full time and one of my roomies is a hardcore gamer

What increments does everyone bill in, and is it standard across the firm? I work in a small boutique T&E firm, and each partner sets their own increments (usually either 0.1 or 0.25).

Not sure if this is an ADHD symptom or a form of avoidance that’s specific to me but since I’ve started working, I feel physically incapable of keeping up with my friendships and relationships, like the bandwidth is completely gone. I never felt this way in law school/ever before but now I’m going ages without responding to texts and I’m starting to really see some strong friendships fall to the wayside. The thing is if I had anything to give, I would!

Do you ever feel like you should write off some of your time because of your ADHD? Im in big law and I know things take me longer than they should.

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

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?

Billable hour question: is anyone else just completely incapable of keeping up with your time? I’ve been an attorney for 3 years now and tried everything I can think of to figure this out but I just can’t do it. It’s the same thing at the end of every month - staying up late entering in an entire month of time. Luckily most clients I work for are flat fee/percentage based but I still feel like a failure for not being able to do this thing that seemingly every other lawyer can do. Any tips?

I just learned about rejection sensitive dysphoria. It describes that feeling of severe emotional pain tied to rejection or failure. And it is associated with ADHD. This explains so much about me and how I approach the world and my job. This feels like important information although I don’t know how to use it yet.

Anyone ever take the Connors CPT 3 test? Just curious to know if this tool was used in anyone else’s diagnosis.

Have to start medication but delaying bcz I’m scared of the side effects 🥹

Another billing question, this one for the litigators: what are your go-to narratives for all of the time that gets sucked up by dealing with emails on super active cases? I’m newly assigned to a matter that actually requires task billing instead of block billing AND that has tons of email traffic that I have to read—but not necessarily act on—to stay on top of the case.

My doc sent me the wrong prescription this month (20 mg IR, which was my old prescription, instead of 30 mg XR). I forgot how bad the IR headaches and crash were…

Have any of you found a cbd that really helps with focus?

Second year at lit boutique. Being asked to draft a lot of briefs from scratch. Work product is great but I take way too long. Not necessarily procrastinating. I just struggle to get a flow state. I rewrite the same sentences over and over. Constantly restructure outline. Always stop to check westlaw. I want to just power through a first draft and add cites/revise prose later. But can’t figure out. Flow state only comes when I’m backed against a wall. Currently on medication. Any other tips?

Been struggling with my ADHD/depression more over the past few weeks than ever before. I am at a serious risk of losing my job for failure to meet billables and I can’t bring myself to fix the problem. I am normally an over achiever, but new to this job- so I don’t have a reputation to lean on here. I have not disclosed my conditions. Literally terrified and not sure how to pull myself out of this. Grateful for any advice or just to know others have made it through something similar.

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

What were you like as children? I was terrible at elementary school and was labeled “lazy” and “disorganized,” despite my best efforts. I didn’t really get it together until high school and then law school just made me feel dumb. I am an excellent mid level associate though so go figure 🤷🏽‍♀️

I know I’ve seen a few similar posts before in the past, but do you guys have preferred/recommended apps to keep you organized and productive with work? I have my work calendar and synced through outlook on my phone, but just looking for suggestions to keep everything as organized as possible.

My job (biglaw, finance, midlevel) is a poor fit overall — both in the adhd sense and more broadly in that it doesn’t really play to my strengths. I am also your usual high achieving people pleaser (such a common species in this job). The combination of all of the above means I am unhappily slogging uphill to be a B/B+ associate in a job that doesn’t interest me in the least. I am planning to make a change in the spring. If what I wrote resonates, are you happier in-house? Any other thoughts?

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?

Has anyone tried Modafinil for ADHD?
