Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space. People who aren’t diagnosed generally have misconceptions about ADHD and its symptoms, and I’m so grateful we have this bowl to seek help, learn from one another, and sometimes just vent! With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!

Oh boy is this about to become the "single consultants" bowl on steroids? I'm scared

Has anyone had success reducing or getting off stimulants? I been on vyvanse for 10 years and now at a pretty high dose (60mg). I feel fine when I take 60mg but my concern is if I don’t take that much I feel barely functional and I don’t want to go any higher in future years. Not taking on weekends basically requires me to just lay in bed all weekend.

Are there any workouts with high caloric burn that can be performed without engaging feet/ankles? I am not aware of any upper body workouts that burn many calories; trying to stay in shape while recovering from sprained ankle.

Where can I find a thermometer? AH literally every store around me is out of stock and partner is sick...

Have any of you used genetic labs like Delta Leaf or farmer freeman? Worth it or just hype?

I left bedside nursing and the hospital 2 years ago. I don't feel guilty about it and honestly this pandemic
has convinced me to never return.

Walked the dog today in an intersection with heavy traffic and she decided to have (excitement poop) diarrhea in front of ~20 strangers. I couldnt clean up everything and left a smear. The embarassment is still fresh in my head. 😂🤦‍♂️. Thank god we are will wearing masks.

I am a cashier and I was under the impression that we were still required to wear masks on a federal level. Is this not true?

Lately been wondering if my meds are even working anymore… had to skip today’s dose (long story not worth telling) and, yeah, can now confirm my meds are working.

I am 18 weeks and see watery thing coming out after peeing. It has weird smell. Google tells me that it can be amniotic fluid too... now I am freaked out... anyone gone through this ?

Has anyone had a D&E? 21 weeks pregnant and after meeting with several specialists the verdict is that we need to terminate for medical reasons 😞. Aside from the obvious emotional devastation, I am trying to figure out what to expect physically?

How do you guys workout during tax season? If your leaving at 11/12 when/ how do u make the time?

Can someone refer to a good therapist? Never been to one and idk how to approach this.

I'm super duper sick. Like the sickest I've been in years. (Three negative covid tests.) I've been completely laid up in bed for a week. I have two working breed dogs (cattle dog and catahoula leopard). They are going out of their minds with boredom. So I ordered a pheasant toy and pheasant scent online. Crisis averted...

SculptICE - has anyone tried it and what were the results like? Ive just discovered a salon close to me does it (based in London) and it’d be good to understand if anyone’s tried it for fat loss before I go invest £00’s in the treatments!! I believe (could be wrong) that it’s a US wellness trend?

If you want eerie reading on the COVID pandemic: Operation Dark Winter and Event 201. Both are disease simulations which decently follow current events and make for enlightening study.

Chest pain from stress? Is that a real thing?

What’s the best advice/strategy you’ve adopted for lawyering with ADHD?

Just venting here but I’m so tired of being lectured by straight people on what homophobia is or it is not!

Welcome to all my fellow travelers. Travel is a great way to open your eyes to the world we live in. To experience new cultures & customs & embrace diversity in our world which makes being human so special. Due to Covid travel has been definitely not a priority for most people. As travel changes in our society due to borders opening and technology let's discuss and share on the experience so we can adjust to our new world and prepare for a safer experience which could be inspiring-

Just had my discovery flight and I’ve been wanting to go for my PPL for a while, just not sure I can justify the 15k or so investment in my current financial situation. Would it be really bad to spread my lesson over a period of a few years?

Im so scared of making a fool out of myself in front of my coworkers and potentially embarrassing the firm if I can't pull it together. Anyone have any advice or had similar experiences?

Opinions on if it’s a bad thing to stay at one place for awhile? I’m enjoying the work and steady pay but I worry about getting totally out of the loop at other places. Before this I moved around alot

Looks like nowadays no interview calls no mails. I have one more week left in my LWD but I am not getting single call from anyone.

Are you all facing the same situation as me.

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

Not sure if this is the right place to post but I have really been struggling with work lately. I was diagnosed with ADHD in the winter and prescribed adderall. While it helps me get up and start my day, I still completely lack motivation to actually do anything even as simple as responding to an email. Prior to the ADHD diagnosis I battled with a panic disorder for about the last decade and was prescribed xanax. However my doc didn’t feel comfortable with both scripts so I no longer (cont)

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?

Diagnosed with ADHD at 40. Tried Vyvanse for a couple of months. It works in terms of depriving grogginess, afternoon post meal crash, and suppressing appetite (at times).

However, I still needed help planning/prioritizing my day,  listening and active note taking, and keeping myself accountable. So decided to replace meds with coffee. Also, the fact that most people on meds had to progressively increase their medication over time did not sit well with me. (cont'd)

I have a manager that does not seem to understand mental illnesses, disorders, etc. He thinks I am making excuses rather than trying to explain things (I have diagnosed ADHD, anxiety, and depression) and I’m trying to take ownership for issues but also help him understand what I am describing better as well. We are sitting down for a conversation later this week. Any advice on how to gently educate or help with his understanding of neurodivergence and other mental health considerations?

What kinds of meds are you on to help with ADHD?

When it is not an urgent or time bound task, I tend to not finish tasks but my mind wanders to some other tasks. How do you stay on task ? Would love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!

Anyone have recs for noise canceling headphones they love?

I have really been struggling with my ADHD lately. What mobile apps or programs do you guys recommend to help manage symptoms? How do you stay on task and remain focused?

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.

What kind of health plan, a PPO or HDHP, would you recommend to someone that goes to an out of network provider?

If you haven't seen it already, #ADHD2022 is trending on twitter, professionals from all over the world are discussing ADHD put on by CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD/ADD). If you went or are virtually attending the conference, please share your experience! Cool thing to check out.

Any tips for organizing a bedroom, closet, dresser & bathroom? My teen has IADHD, and low executive functioning. Her room looks like a land mine. Clean clothes are mixed in with dirty, her desk is a disaster, she won’t let go of clothes she’s outgrown, drawers are open with clothes hanging out. A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.

Does anyone else feel like stimulants make you a bit “dyslexic” like make lots of small mistakes, because you just do things quickly without reading it properly
