What time are you taking your meds in the morning?

You could also be on to high of a dose, which would prevent you from sleeping well.

2 dynamics
1. If I take mediknet (8h) sleep is ok but feel very lethargic at 6pm+ and can’t work at all so if I have to work few extra hours I’m screwed
2. Therefore went to concerta (12h) which is better for work but somehow still causes sleep issues
3. I take drug holiday weekends so first two days of week all good because feel impact strong but on Thu-Fri completely drained unless increase dosage

Stuck in this cycle

Hi ladies! I feel I am ready to find a more managerial role: manager, supervisor, director, etc. I usually take positions I am over qualified for, which leaves me underpaid and not very challenged. However, I think not having previous manager experience holds me back as well. How does someone get manager roles without having manager experience? Someone has to yes in order to gain it, right?! Is there a way to phrase answers in an interview to get the positions?

Did I act irrationally here? I had an initial consultation with a therapist the other day to get a referral to a psychiatrist for BD + ADHD.

Do I just tell the other provider I'm no longer interested?

Does anyone ever struggle with when you take a little too much of your adderall (or similar med) & it finally does kick in all at once, your brain starts to overanalyze everything & you get so detailed that it becomes counterproductive? I’m either avoidant & unfocused or hyperfocused & too detailed, it’s equally as unproductive.
