I’ve been on the same dose of Vyvanse since fall 2019. It still works. I notice a difference when I don’t take it. But I think I miss the rush I used to get when I would feel my meds kick in — like I could handle anything and I knew my meds were working. That plus the hyper focus that was still within my control (not the time blindness hyper focus where you fixate). Does anyone still get that? Is it worth trying to change my meds? Or is this just what it feels like to be “normal” now?

My SO has been an opioid addict for 5 years. Any advice to a spouse for how to handle it? SO has been to rehab, EOPx2 and drug tested 2x a month but fakes them. I’m at my breaking point.

Alright I gotta say it.. charlottes gym scene is terrible. Where do people go to workout?

What is the deduction for adding parents in the insurance from Nagarro.
It is not mentioned in the offer letter.
Also, insurance for self and spouse is free? Correct

Recently arrived to visit my aging (mid 60’s) mother. The last time was a year ago. For the last several years each time I visit there are visible cob webs all over the ceilings and walls throughout most of the house. I try to address it as an issue that needs more attention but get laughed at and gaslit. Her mental stability is quite concerning. The house is falling a part too with many repairs needed and unaddressed.

Thoughts on how to handle?

So I thought I had Covid - I took 6 tests and they all say the P word..
I’m in utter shock still. TTC 3 years

My mom won't wear her Fitbit to bed. She has a pacemaker and has had a fib. We got it for Christmas so we could find out while she's in an episode and not a month later. She read or saw somewhere that it interferes with pacers. I looked it up and it's not a legit concern, but wanted more opinions before I advise.

Anyone try ADHD coaching? Have any recommendations?

A friend of mine told me I should have Narcan on hand for my boyfriend who does coke sometimes. I'm firmly against it. He knows I hate when he does it and I don't want the emotional weight of carrying it around in my purse. Like, if he's going to do that, he should carry his own damn Narcan. Am the asshole? She thinks I'm being cruel since it can be lifesaving and you can get it for free.

My back still hurts from last week, these fancy ergonomic office chairs seem to somehow feel worse then the regular ones...

For pregnant women who have had prior pregnancies/losses but no living children, do you consider yourself a FTM? When people ask if this is your first, do you share that it’s not your first pregnancy? This is my third pregnancy and would be my first living child; it’s been on my mind as I head into the second tri (which is when I lost my last baby).

Just wanted to post an update. 68 weeks ago I posted about my drinking problems. It was bad. It’s been 8 months now without a single drink. I still can’t believe it. I still miss drinking. I’ve sat with coworkers and watched them drink. It’s not nearly as fun, but I am so thankful each morning I can hold my head up high. Will I drink again? I only said I would quit for 60 days. Can I have a beer? Some wine? A fine bourbon? I sometimes crave it. I guess there is the answer! You can all do this!

I am doing dry January (so it’s only been 10 days), but I’m surprised that I’m already seeing a difference. My skin looks better, my face isn’t as puffy and I think I’ve already lost some weight. Which makes me wonder.....how much was I drinking before that I can see this much effect, this fast 😳?

Every time I eat, I get congested/phlegmy and I have to clear my throat or cough or cough for about 30 minutes after. What causes this? How to fix? I tried allergy meds, didn’t help much.

anyone struggling mentally?

Well my work gym just added Peloton and I just got my Peloton last month. I really love it so far. Not sure if I should return it now that my work gym has it? Also, I don’t plan to be with my work after summer hopefully. So maybe I should just suspend my subscription for now?

Anyone who has made the move from the US to UK member firm - thoughts? Was it worth it?

I know this gets posted a lot in here but I am struggling to make financial sense of my offer I received. I know UK salary market is much lower, but I also don’t want to be suddenly strapped for money when I am comfortable in the US. Obviously my want to move to the UK can/probably will outweigh this concern but I would appreciate any weigh in.

Hope everyone is doing well. As we get closer to the end of COVID, I’d like to welcome everyone to post on this thread if you are looking for a tennis buddy. Feel free to list your location and level.

Hi everyone! Would love to hear where there has been encouragement in your life recently - either something in your life, answered prayer, a verse or scripture you’ve been meditating on, etc! I’ve been feeling bogged down with heaviness of state of the world, but it’s helpful to step back and see the areas where Jesus is moving

Is a SCRUM master cert worth it?

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?

Sometimes things just stop working, out of no fault of yours or theirs or anyone's, but just because. Some people change, and some people don't, and inevitably, some things between those changing and unchanging people will stop working.

Has anyone figured out OneNote? I’m trying to get organized...again.

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?

That anxious feeling when you’ve been putting off a non-urgent project, but now it’s become an embarrassingly long time (2+ months) because nobody has followed up in the interim to put some pressure on you… I need to finish it and face the music, but really not looking forward to it. Can anyone relate/any tips to minimize backlash?

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 🤷🏽‍♀️

Has anyone tried Modafinil for ADHD?

What are your favorite social media accounts/profiles for the ADHD community?

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

Has anyone had any experience with online platforms prescribing ADHD medications? I’ve seen ads for Done and wanted others input. I was diagnosed 21 years ago and have been treated by doctors every month since, so I don’t need an initial diagnosis. But my health insurance changed and my doctor is no longer covered. I can’t get in to a new doctor without a long wait, nor do I have time to take off work for the appointment, which is why I was leaning towards a virtual appointment. Thanks!

Has anyone has success taking vyvanse every three days or every other day? Typically take 50mg daily but the side effects have become difficult - trouble falling asleep, increase in anxiety- but not taking it isn’t an option for me as it’s nearly impossible for to stay focused with work. Just curious about others experiences before I raise with my doctor.

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.

How do you add positive structure to your life outside of work? I am way too worn out when I get home and my ADHD just takes over...

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?

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

Welp. Finally had enough and pulled the trigger. Told my HR I have ADHD and asked for accommodations. No response yet.

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.

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…
