That moment when you’re reading a social media post about ADHD trauma, and you’re nodding along agreeing with all the comments, and after about 20 minutes you remember you’re supposed to be working and you forgot to take your meds. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Gotta love when this happens.I cannot tell you the amount of times i have done something similar. I started writing on a mirror with a dry erase marker and checking off each day when I take my meds because otherwise I forget.

Hi,

Is it fine to call a HR if he's not answering. I have my HR discussions pending.

I called him once a day (twice on 2nd day with a gap of 4-5hrs in between)
for two days straight and third day he picked my call for scheduling the final interview.

It's been a week & he told I would receive a call from his team before today, but didn't receive.

Can I call him to remind or just keep on waiting till I receive a call from them.

Getting a reply for mail is highly unlikely. Please suggest

For those of you who take medication in the morning, when do you take it? I usually take mine when I get to the office, but I’m starting to feel like that’s cutting into my workday productivity.

I have a prescription for Vyvanse. Even without Vyvanse, I have diagnosed generalized anxiety. On top of that, depression runs in my family. It’s not a diagnosis, but I suspect it’s there.

I want to ask my doctors about an anti-anxiety/depression meds, but does anyone here take ADHD meds and those other meds at the same time? I’m worried about the drug interactions/potential physical effects. TIA.

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team. So billable work is never constant. I feel like this has impacted my interest and stagnated my growth. I am thinking of moving into a different area of practice that I’m interested in. Has anyone ever done this? I’m actually depressed and I really hate being given work now. I have ADHD. Please advise
