Rising 2A here. Does anyone here do corporate work and have suggestions on dealing with improving attention to detail, prioritization, organization? Recently diagnosed along with dealing with major life changes (new child, new house).

Was just asked to leave my firm unfortunately. Would really appreciate guidance from others who may be dealing with similar things.

On a side note, I'm so happy I found this page. I've felt like I've been out on a island without any hope.

Thoughts on wolf vs diplomat watch winders? I see discussions in this bowl about wolf brand. I'm thinking of buying one for my husband for father's day from our babies, and I can have the diplomat one engraved with his initials. Is wolf really better for the watch though? I've gotten him two nice watches over the years (Breitling and Mont Blanc). He used to wear one daily, but his company won't move back to the office until 2022 so don't want the mechanisms to get messed up.

Hello everyone! I am looking for advice. I am a C&B Team lead ( about 15 years of experience) but all my experience was in Russia. Now I got married and moved to UK , plus we have got a baby in 2019 so now I am looking for a job in UK having 3 years of career break. Although, I am getting CIPD lvl 7 diploma this year. I am not ready for team leader's role now . So my question is about HR area, where could I find a job with my only Russian experience? HR generalist, C&B analyst, HR BP, recruiter?

How long should you be at your firm before getting pregnant? I’m a 6th year associate at a mid size firm on LI. I got a job offer when we were already trying to get pregnant. Wondering if we should hold off for a while.

My husband and I are going to start trying soon and are trying to get on the same page regarding childcare. I suggested daycare but my husband says he absolutely doesn’t want a “stranger” watching our child. Instead, he wants our moms to watch our child. My mom doesn’t have the best health and can’t really be relied on so that leaves his mom. I’ve said for years that I don’t want our moms to be our childcare. Is there a way to compromise here? Any idea that’s not a parent = stranger to him 😩

Hi ladies, my friend will be having her first baby in July. I am hoping that she will be able to breastfeed. If she cannot, is there anything that our group of friends can do now in order to secure baby formula? Thank you in advance!

Some context: agency let go about 15% of the company a month ago. I was warned by my dept lead more layoffs could happen if we don’t win new business soon. I’m 35w pregnant.

What scenario (if any) is most likely:
- That I’m let go before my mat leave begins
- I’m let go during mat leave
- I’m let go immediately after returning from mat leave

Seems like potential PR nightmare for them, but I can’t ignore the fact that I was given a heads up that layoffs could happen.

Starting a new job on Monday! I am very nervous as it’s my first day back to work post four month maternity leave and also a new job! I am a FTM and grateful that my mom is here to help me out with baby. Brought some new cloth for work (on site few days a week) as body changed. Reading some industry news to keep up. What else to prep myself? Also I feel unconfident to talk about my kid and worry if ppl will judge my performance etc. (My boss know that I am a new mom and he is cool about it)

For those of you in public accounting returning from leave (maternity, medical, sabbatical, etc.), did being away from work for an extended period make you rethink your career or at least whether you want to stay in public? If you ended up leaving your company/firm/public accounting, how long did it take you and what were the factors in your decision?

Anyone have recommendations for baby headphones to buy for baby’s first baseball game so that the sound doesn’t bother her?

My friend comes over with his daughter (6) who frequently runs and does cartwheels in my home. I told my friend I don’t like it and his response was that’s she’s bored and I need to be more patient with kids. Since when did asking parents to have their kids respect your space a problem?

What should I consider majoring in that would be the basis knowledge to help in my technology career? No math heavy paths, please.

Do jobs look at your degree?

I was told during my review that I tend to freeze and tense up whenever I get asked a question I don’t know the answer to. Also that sometimes I rush to a conclusion without fully thinking the answer through. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏻

After I procrastinate I feel so guilty that I don't know what to do or say to the people I've flaked on—even if I only miss the deadline by 5 minutes. How do you bounce back from procrastinating?

I’ve been taking Adderall IR for approx. 6 months now (currently prescribed 40mg aka 20mg 2x daily) and I don’t feel it working anymore. My hyperactivity is back in full force and I feel that calm yet alert feeling only for the first hour after taking it. I feel like it’s too soon for this to happen (I read Adderall can stop working for some people after taking it for a few years, but it’s been <1 year for me). Should I ask my doctor to try another ADHD med? This is so frustrating.

forgot my meds at home today 🙃

Based on suggestions from my recent post I used Circle and was diagnosed and prescribed 5 mg of Aderall XR. Does anyone who has used a primary care or psychiatrist to get diagnosed have insight into what they did prior to diagnosis? Trying to compare the level of assessment and whether I should get any further testing done. I’m pretty confident I have issues after reading symptoms from credible sources online and reading experiences in this bowl, but curious if I should have been tested more.

Are people still live on here? I was diagnosed last year with ADD and I’ve tried two stimulants so far. I know they aren’t meant to be a magic pill but I’m still struggling with general tasks and feel like I’m doing the bare minimum. The Nurse has suggested I try non stimulants. What are peoples experiences with meds ? Did they work or not?

What strategies do you use to avoid mistakes caused by distraction?

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.

Do you ever feel like you should write off some of your time because of your ADHD? Im in big law and I know things take me longer than they should.

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.

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

How do you manage keeping track of and responding to teams chats and emails in a timely manner? I have a hard time addressing chats when I am focused on something else, because I know it will completely derail me. But then I forgot to circle back to the chat when I’m done and I’ve recently been told that my response time is unacceptable and needs to improve, but I’m truly unsure how to improve.

Today the partner told me he thinks I have executive function issues. “Do you know what that is?”

I acted like I didn’t know and just ran to the bathroom and cried. I feel like I’ve been found out. Everyone tells you not to disclose your EF or ADHD issues and just try to cope, taking for granted older partners don’t know what’s up.

I don’t know what to do.

Does anyone here have trouble getting out of bed in the morning? I feel like I can’t motivate myself to wake up and then get out of bed every single day. Once I’m out of bed and working, I can get motivated and work through the day. I tend to have very productive 3 PM - 12 AM. I just wish that I could get myself to pull that back six hours.

I have a really hard time without my medication, but most of the time when I do take it, I get terrible acid reflux and also lose my appetite. I was on adderall but switched to Focalin, but still having the same issue. Anyone experienced this??

Anyone feel like it took them longer to come into their own as associates? I was a terrible junior, I got fired from my job at a small plaintiff firm. They told me that I don’t have the “mental acuity to be a lawyer,” but as a fifth year at a V30 something just clicked. I just got the first positive evaluation of my professional life. I have a December birthday and this is the first time in ages that I can go into it not feeling hopeless.

I hate people defending themselves or others who use ADHD meds recreationally. Like I shouldn’t blame them for all the trouble I have to go to every month to get my prescriptions because it’s a bigger societal problem. 🙄
