My medicine make it possible for me to do my job well. It also takes away much of my personality and makes me a much more serious person. Also, I’m having a hard time with being anxious and moody when the meds wear off. Would love any tips for mitigating these. Prescribed both vyvanse and adderall short acting FWIW

Hi, same here. I take Vyvanse everyday and Adderall only as needed. Adderall makes me more antisocial and serious, whereas Vyvanse just allows me to function normally, so I try to avoid the Adderall unless I am pulling an all nighter or have no social plans. After work, I smoke pot to help mellow me back out.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.

How do you all deal with time management - and specifically time estimate - problems?

I always underestimate how long things will take, both because we ADHD’ers view time differently and because I don’t build in time for getting distracted.

I work with a partner who asks me by when I can get something done rather than giving a deadline. I appreciate the flexibility but I always short sell myself and end up pulling all-nighters to meet my self-imposed unrealistic deadlines.
