Meds and GMAT exam performance: I feel smarter, more time-conscious and aware off meds during an exam. 3 questions: 1. Should I take meds daily to revise effectively before GMAT? 2. Should I take them during the exam itself? 3. If I shouldn’t take it during exam, when or how should I wean off of it? 2 days before etc?

Hi, i been really struggle with work. Do you feel like ADHD med works? Do you have some natural alternatives? I get paranoid about side effects.

Does anyone else struggle to accept your diagnosis? I’ve had two therapists suggest I try medication, but I can’t help feeling like I’m just too weak to handle the challenges of the world. That medication is the “easy way out”. In weekly therapy (+other lifestyle changes), but my anxiety/depression just seems to be getting worse.

I have been finding a number of providers that are in-network (UHC) but the surgery centers are out of network and I was told that I have to use in-network. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I'm not seeing how much use the benefit is when the most expensive part is out of network.

Sales tax question...if I purchase a gym membership in a state that doesn't tax gym fees and then use that membership at the gym's chain in another state that taxes gym memberships or admission fees, is tax due to the 2nd state (does the gym chain owe tax in the 2nd state upon my usage)?

Do you think it's true that white healthcare professionals have an inherent bias? Do we? I understand the differences between prejudice and racism (and that neither has a place in healthcare), but I wonder if a Black patient's (well-informed) prejudice against a white doctor could impact their care and if a Black doctor would have that same issue serving white patients.

Any advice with anxiety before calls/door pulling? Never happened before but it’s crippling now.

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night!

I can’t go back to chain retail - it damn near broke me in my 20’s, and it’s much worse now.

What is the point to listing objections to an Interrogatory if you are going to answer it anyway? I have frankly never used them, and in 10 years of litigation, have never seen or heard of a reason for them other than to pad a bill — the exception being if there’s a genuine reason to not answer:

Hoping this doesn’t turn controversial. Should I be teaching my young kids to read Quran in Arabic (so learn a new language just to read Quran but no value otherwise), or skip Arabic and have them read transliteration (so like Alhamdu lilahi) or third option to just read in English the translation where they will actually understand? I mean, I spend 100 dollars a week on a tutor to teach them Arabic. My parents spent thousands and I can barely read it now and prefer transliteration.thoughts?

Has anyone used the Done. ADHD service? I’ve been thinking about using it since my psychiatrist is never available and ADHD clinics around me seem so expensive.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at 35, along with Major Depression, likely have PTSD, and the potential for me to become bipolar is high. Moved cross country away from an abusive family situation. Fortunately, I have a great psychiatrist who has helped me understand and try to accept this new information. He is medicating me well, adjusting as needed, all after utilizing a DNA test to see what’s most effective for my physiology. The problem now, I’m afraid to try to work again. I don’t know who I am.

How do you deal with the following - 1) lack of general organization in life, note taking, keeping track of your relationships and 2) attention to detail. These 2 things have been bothering me a lot. We all are smart as hell but silly mistakes such as spelling mistakes, broader checks to be done on the deck is killing me. Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?
