Made it to Amazon last round, and rejected. All I got was an email from the recruiter saying they didn't move forward.

I am out of Adderall and have about 40 hours of work to do this weekend. I’ve been calling my prescriber since yesterday at 9am and she’s usually super quick to call in my Rx.. but this time the front office just kept telling me “she hasn’t gotten to it yet” and now they’re closed for the weekend.

I’m finding that environmental noise has increased near my office now that tourism has picked back up in my city, and I’m struggling to block it out.

I am a woman with pretty severe ADHD. I’ve taken medicine pretty much every day since I was diagnosed as a child. Currently I take Vyvanse with 10 mg Adderall. Even with the medicine, I sometimes I feel like I’m barely a functioning adult. My SO and I maybe want kids but I’m terrified of 1) do I have to stop medicine while pregnant and breast feeding, 2) could I even do my job without medicine, and 3) could I really take care of a baby?!? I’d love to hear other’s experiences or thoughts! Thanks!

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!

I have been working with a therapist since January and discovered I have ADHD, which has explained so much for me. I am still learning about it and trying to accept it, but I am really hesitant to even begin thinking about taking meds for it. Maybe it’s denial and I need to get over that mindset of “I can fix this” or that there’s nothing “wrong” with me and that adhd it’s just a phase in my life, but I really am just not there yet. Are there any natural things anyone has found to be helpful?
