I'm still a pretty new engineer (grad 2022) and I'm struggling to figure out how to operate well in a work place? In addition to anxiety, depression, ADHD and probably autism, I'm chronically ill with POTS. I'm kinda stuck in a cycle where masking and anxiety of not understanding others wears me out and will flare me and I don't have enough time to recover before the cycle starts all over again.

Is there a way to actually get this under control in a predominantly neurotypical workplace?

Curious how people manage health/exercise schedules if you are working pretty much the whole day?

I see a lot of people who have crippling anxiety here work out to feel better. My crippling anxiety kind of paralysis my legs (or at least feels like it to the point that I can’t even walk). Does anyone have similar symptoms and solution for it?
I am in therapy right now but just wanted to hear from someone who is also going through it

Best hotel in NYC with a decent gym?

Anyone have gallstones or cholestasis during pregnancy? I was diagnosed this weekend at 28 weeks. Going through a gallbladder attack as I type this 😢

I think that I have eating disorder. I am always hungry but when I get food I can’t finish it, usually I am done after 2-3 bites and then I am hungry again after an hour. Anyone has similar issues? Have you been to a nutritionist or dietitian? If yes, is it covered by Insurance?

Starting Intermittent Fasting meets elimination diet meets 40 days meat+veggie+fruit diet in consultation with a nutritionist + a lifestyle change program.

I'm not used to IF and had coffee with coconut oil this morning. Thought I was going to pass out since I waited until 11 to eat.

Thinking about adjusting starting to eat at 9:30/10 tomorrow instead.

No questions, just this is going to be something new to get used to.

Regarding these interviews: I’ve smoked pot exactly once, about 15 years ago. Do no other drugs. If I disclose that when I ask, is that a problem?

So, what clinic do you all go to?

I’ll start it off. I’ve been to 3:
1. RSC in San Ramon, CA
2. Spring in Oakland and SF, CA
3. SCRC in Santa Barbara, CA

I’ve also done outside monitoring at RMA in SF, CA. Multiple reasons for the many clinics if anyone is interested.

Hi folks, anyone interested in creating a healthy sleep/wake schedule? I’m targeting to achieve and maintain a 10pm/5am sleep/wake schedule on the weekdays. I wonder if we can get this started, and check in to support and make it happen!

Going through a miscarriage at the moment. Was 5 weeks-ish in and did three days of HIIT workout and here I am. I’m young so not that sad but I just hope I don’t have to get the D&C surgery. :(

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.

Say I had a “friend” who gained 15 Covid lbs but is still on dating apps with old pics. Is that considered catfishing? She’s not overweight, but not fit anymore. Still good looking...she suspects. Is it best to update the pics? Or get on a BBW dating app? Definite fear of rejection at meeting. Thank God I’m asking for a friend because this shits embarrassing to type.

Oh its kicking in, that holiday anxiety and depression 😂. Feeling like shit, bout to go out tonight and get drunk or something. Hows everyone doing?

1 week sober! Over the last 12 years (I’m early 30s) I’ve reached this point just a handful of times. Alcohol is deeply intertwined into my social life much like everyone’s is I imagine. Feeling clear minded and energized. Want to stay clean for my own mental and physical health and for the benefit of my wife and children. Just starting this journey so thank you in advance to this community as I’m ready to learn from you all and be a part. Let’s go!

Medicaid plans are so dysfunctional. Has anyone else experienced this? I feel like I’m being gas lighted after working for big commercial enterprises and now working on a Medicaid plan. I’ve never seen so much resistance to change or legit resistance to doing anything to improve operations.

Hello fam. T&E is back online.

Has anyone been sick for multiple days after the vaccine?

I'm supposed to have a bachelor party this weekend but one of my groomsman's wives got the vaccine Wednesday and is still ill. Could it be vaccine side effects or is it full covid?

Hi Fishes

I urgently need a referral at Barclays for a role. Anyone kindly help me. @barclays

Anybody have experience with adjournment requests in the 1st Dept App Division? We have a respondent’s brief due a week from Wednesday. This past we submitted an application for adjournment. I’ve convinced my partner that we have good cause (record issues that need a motion to resolve) but now I’m starting to get worried. Are adjournments usually granted?

Afternoon. Thinking about telling my employers about my ADHD, but I’m not sure how they’ll react. Any advice from people who have told their places of work?

Welcome to anyone who comes across this post. I have been on this app for around a week and I am yet to find any other NeuroDivergent groups/bowls for people in sales. I’ve created this bowl in the hope that we can find each other if we’re here! All people welcome, formal diagnosis or not and also for those who suspect themselves to be ND. If this remains quiet for a few weeks I’ll make it less generic and step away from sales.

QUESTION:

Happy Saturday! This bowl (and myself!) are both super new to Fishbowl App. So thank you to those that have joined!

I’m currently helping to educate workplaces on supporting NeuroDivergent staff + how to help us thrive.

What’s one thing that really helps you feel supported at work?
