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.

How do you take care of your mental health working in this industry?

Does this benefit cover procedures such as freezing eggs?

Today Pfizer announced that trials show that their vaccine is 100% effective for teens ages 12-15. Do you think most of our students will get it for next year?

What does every do for a healthy snack?
Weight loss is stagnating (23 M, 5’10” previously 210lbs 29.5% BF now 188ish lbs 21.5% BF) and I figure tuning up nutrition could be the extra kick I need.

I like RX bars, but thinking of switching to fruit with natural PB (I.e. only peanuts and oil) since guessing anything that isn’t processed will help give me that extra push to my goal (175 lbs 15% BF). Any ideas are appreciated!

Has anyone managed to really overcome stress/emotional eating? I also have a track record with binge eating disorder and bulimia 😕

Can anyone in the Charlotte area recommend a good, caring fertility clinic? Every single one I've researched has some pretty scathing reviews. Anybody have a good experience?

I feel like my life has been stagnant for about 2 years. I have the same ‘meh’ day over and over again at work. Overall have every symptom of ‘burnout’. Outside of work I mainly lie around and watch tv. Only time I have a lot of energy is when I was on a beach vacation or when I drink a TON of coffee. I get big ideas about doing the things I enjoy outside of work but never do them. Dating life is nonexistent. I kinda think I’m depressed, but don’t want to go on meds. Any advice?

Anyone have recs for personal trainers in San Francisco?

Career wise: if you had to choose between Allstate or USAA which would you choose? It’s both for the same position of unrepresented bodily injury adjuster.

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!

Is NIPT worth it ? I am 32 years old and currently 16 weeks pregnant . My NIPT blood sample doesn’t have enough fetal DNA. They took 2 weeks to say that . Should I go for a re-draw of sample or it’s not worth it ?

Given that KSA announced today that they believe it’ll take between 4 months to 1 year to deal with the virus, does this hamper all KSA projects for that timeframe?

Anyone know of a good app for healthy recipes with Macros etc.

I have been taking anti depressants on and off for the past 8-10 years. Was asked to start the meds again last month after I was going through another phase and I still can’t believe how much the meds help me, it’s literally night and day.

I have always wanted to go off of meds. Has anyone tried other treatments for depression/anxiety with success? I have been looking at CBD recently but not sure if it is anything more than another fad.

Today I was officially diagnosed with adult adhd. I can’t begin to explain how relieved I am.

It turns out things that I’ve considered personality defects are actually symptoms of this disorder. Interrupting people, saying inappropriate things, swirling on a topic for days: all issues I’ve battled with since childhood and finally have an answer.

Mental health is important. Talk to your doctor and do research. You never know what’s going on inside your brain.

I’ve worked as assistant manager for years, but it doesn’t look like I’ll be getting a promotion anytime soon. I feel bad leaving since I'm kind of the glue around here and I’ve gotten to know pretty much everyone. Any advice?

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?

I forgot to take my medicine today. I realized it once I got into the office. I noticed my brain is extra sluggish and cloudy. So I checked my emergency at-work pills and I forgot to bring more. It would take over an hour to go home for meds and come back to work. I hate getting in these situations trying to figure out if I just stick it out at work, drive home and back to work, or call it a lost day and go home and back to sleep. It’s so frustrating that one change in routine can ruin the day.

Looking for actionable tips to improve efficiency. I’m a senior associate doing primarily employment litigation. I get great reviews on my work product, including my writing, but lately I’ve been getting feedback that I’m spending too long on tasks and partners are having to write off too much time (not good for partnership prospects). In particular, writing briefs, emails, and letters takes me forever, probably because it takes me a long time to form the right sentences. [Cont’d below]

Does anyone have tips for sleeping when they are on ADD medication? I can’t stay asleep when I take my medication.

How do you stealthily ask for help? I see a lot of you mentioning that you ask your partners to give you deadline, have your assistant check in, etc. That sounds great, but I'm so nervous about looking like the odd one out or revealing my ADHD in the process. So I haven't brought myself to do it yet.

Lit associates-what all do you delegate to your assistant? What do you ask them to do that helps you manage your symptoms?

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

Big law. I liked it because it provided the panic-like environment that keeps me motivated enough to do work, but I’m struggling because being in a constant state of panic is extremely exhausting physically and mentally. But I’m having a hard time getting motivated if there is no fire drill. Anyone found anything on that has helped?

Been a rough week here and quitting has crossed my mind more than once. What keeps you guys motivated and inspired on the job?

Does anyone else get excited anxious? Like start to think (dare I say dream) about a new opportunity and then can’t focus or sit still for hours… 😬

My firm recently switched to a time keeping system that monitors everything you do on your computer. I have ADHD and often google random things (I.e. scores of games; actors in movies/shows; news articles; etc.) has anyone had a problem with AI monitoring and/or management getting on you?

I don't think I'm cut out for this career. My adhd gets in the way.

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’ve been on Adderall IR for awhile and just got prescribed Zoloft by my doctor today. Anyone have experience taking both meds?
(Asking because I was taking Adderall and Lexapro together years ago and had to stop because I started getting tons of random bruises, so I’m wondering if there’s anything y’all have experienced with Adderall & Zoloft.) Thanks so much!!

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?
