I'm upping my dosage this month for the first time since I started taking medication. I've had very few side effects so far (trouble sleeping) but I'm worried with this higher dosage I'll get more of the bad along with more of the good. What do you guys use for insomnia or sleep issues while on ADHD medication? Thanks.

Sooooo, haven’t slept all night... was told a Co-worker has tested positive for COVID-19!

Hi y’all, I am a Design Strategist at a Minneapolis AD agency. I have 3 years of Ad experience, switched from corporate environment. If this year taught me anything it’s not to be surprised. After George Floyd I can’t help but judge my environment and how senseless and apathetic non-BIPOC people can be to our realities. A whole pandemic going on, a few days away from the election and I got laid off. I’m a Black woman with a strong work ethic, if anyone has career advice please share. Thank you!

I'm watching the film "The Disruptors" and just crying (hellooooo emotional regulation issues). But it's so validating and frustrating at the same time. I've had a terrible several months at work, and I am relating so hard to the struggles even of the school kids in this. Like my boss is the teacher throwing me into the hallway because they are tired of me. It's also comforting to see who has excelled at their passion with it, even if I can't quite find mine and feel like I'm failing.

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.

I found a place with great reviews to be diagnosed for ADHD, but it’s through virtual appointments, is this a normal thing?

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?

When completing your company's voluntary personal information section, do you self- identify as having a disability? Are there risks or benefits in doing so?

How do I say to my boss "I constantly drift off in meetings and when you're talking so could you please be more engaging or send this in an email?" without losing my job? Sometimes I'm in a meeting and when I leave I genuinely couldn't tell you what was discussed. Is there a scientific explanation for the brain fog I get with ADHD? Because it sucks.

Been really fighting sleep lately. I recall reading that’s an ADHD symptom but I can’t find it now in my half asleep but wide awake state.

How do you get out of the burnout cycle? I’ve felt overwhelmed for a while and now I’m in the “can’t function at all” stage. It’s so hard explaining this to my manager because I already have a workload that’s lighter than others (not because of performance or my request). Any tips on how to get re-engaged, since the overwhelming feeling will come back?

Does anyone else struggle with dopamine fasting?

Anyone feel like self-control is more difficult on stimulants in general? Like reflecting back on things, thinking before speaking, holding out on pleasure activities

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

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

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.

Just a thought... "Change your thoughts and change your world. ~N. Peale
Lately I have changed my thoughts on ADD/ADHD. This conundrum that affects is truly a "Super power" when harnessed effectively there is almost nothing you can't do. Many of the issues and complaints I see are from people that are shaped like clouds trying to fit into a geo metric world. I have been dealing with this for over 40 years and have had various positions. Please share your thoughts.

Scale 1-10 (10 being “tear my hair out bad”), how badly do you procrastinate?

Can you cut 18mg Delmosart (i.e. Concerta) to get 2x 9mg?

Looking for advice/input:

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?

How to read diligently when on stimulants? Does anyone find it very difficult to slow down how fast they read something and as a result miss critical data points that change their story? If so, what do you do?
