Jumping into the Lions Den with this one because I don’t see a specific bowl for it. For those of you with invisible illnesses that can impact your work performance, how do you explain this to your teams? For example, if you were receiving infusions bi-weekly that wiped you out or caused pain - how would you explain that to your client or team? Or would you?

Explain it to your team exactly like how you just said above. Do you have sick days that you can take for days post treatment? If you’re on a schedule and give them a notice, teams should be able to schedule (meetings, calls, etc.) accordingly.

I usually just communicate it 1-on-1 with the team members sometime in the first week or so. I'm also comfortable being open about my chronic illness which helps, but I know not everyone is that way

Have you ever felt that by being open about it that it prevented you from being considered for certain client opportunities? This is what I’m afraid of.

It’s part of who you are so own it. It’s better for people to be aware then think you are dogging it when you aren’t feeling well. If it’s an issue with a manager that’s a red flag that you didn’t want to work with them anyway.

If anyone he has done extensive laser hair removal (I’m talking full body), how much did your treatments cost and was it worth it? I’ve always considered it but now that I’m in my mid-20s and 1. just don’t care about body hair as much as I used to and 2. am no longer showing as much skin as I did when I was younger and did sports that required it, I’m wondering if it’s worth spending all that money.

I have not been diagnosed with ADHD. I definitely fit some of the characteristics that go unnoticed in females. The good news is if i do have ADHD, it makes me quite good at my job as I’m very flexible and can provide positive energy to my patients. Anyway, my boss has told me I have ADHD multiple times. It seems rude when she says it, and she follows it up with “I say that because I love you” which i feel is so unprofessional all around. Anyone have guidance on how to handle this?
