Went through a professional diagnosis at a reputable local hospital and the results came back that I don’t have it as I scored too well on their testing measurements.

Normally one would be relieved, but I have a tough time buying it. It doesn’t explain my lack of focus, persistent daydreaming, zoning out of conversations, subpar short term memory, inability to sit perfectly still for stretches of time.

Do I go seek a second opinion?

I should stop saying “sweet dreams” to my diabetic friends!!

Ouch. Had my first injury in this recent work out stint. Nothing major just hurt my shoulder a bit. In the past these types of injuries just discourage me. Any tips on how to stay in it?

I have been working with a therapist since January and discovered I have ADHD, which has explained so much for me. I am still learning about it and trying to accept it, but I am really hesitant to even begin thinking about taking meds for it. Maybe it’s denial and I need to get over that mindset of “I can fix this” or that there’s nothing “wrong” with me and that adhd it’s just a phase in my life, but I really am just not there yet. Are there any natural things anyone has found to be helpful?

I forgot to take my medicine today. I realized it once I got into the office. I noticed my brain is extra sluggish and cloudy. So I checked my emergency at-work pills and I forgot to bring more. It would take over an hour to go home for meds and come back to work. I hate getting in these situations trying to figure out if I just stick it out at work, drive home and back to work, or call it a lost day and go home and back to sleep. It’s so frustrating that one change in routine can ruin the day.

I have my frozen embryo transfer next month. I just got my “schedule”. Coming in day 2 and day 12, again day16 and a few other days here and there. All I could think about was how in the world am I...

It’s been 5 weeks and I haven’t gone a day or night without crying and feeling haunted by them. I can’t eat, can’t sleep, can’t produce quality work, can’t find joy in anything I previously loved. This is the worst physical and psychological pain I’ve ever experienced.

Edibles for insomnia - has anyone tried before?

Cramping, moderate bleeding with a clot. 6 weeks. Any chance this is not a miscarriage? It’s not looking good

Feb 2020: IUI leading to miscarriage at 7 weeks. August 2020: IVF frozen transfer (ICSI), miscarriage at 6 weeks. February 2021: IVF transfer #2, went for 8 week US today, baby’s measuring on track, heart rate of 170, I saw the heart beat and baby gave a little wiggle. Graduated from our fertility clinic, with 10 week US scheduled for

Anyone just get random anxiety for no reason and can't shake it? 😔 What do you do?

I'd love to create a sticky post here where we can share what technology tools we use to do our job better as Adhd consultants.
I've posted a tool - please consider using a similar format so it's consistent and easy to follow.

I take notes all day long in meetings for myself. Key thoughts, follow ups...

They're completely useless at jogging my memory. And when I remember to look, miracle, nothing pops out.

Any tips?

Has anyone ever tried meditating? I’ve given it several tries because it sounds like it should help manage anxiety and ADHD but I can’t get into it. What are your experiences with it?

When I was diagnosed, I struggled to find any info out there on adults and workplace etc. Thinking of setting up just a blog space for people’s stories, anonymously. If anyone’s happy to tell their story or an experience that might be useful lmk. Happy to provide a framework of questions so you don’t have to write a think piece... could be how it impacts work, advances your work, learnings from medication, learnings from stress, how you tell people, etc - anything that could help others!

Anyone else forget to eat throughout the day? Like 75% of the time I don’t eat until 5pm for the first time all day. I usually drink around 100oz of water from 8am to 5pm but frequently forget to eat / too busy to even have an appetite

Any good audiobook recommendations for motivation and tips on productivity?

If you never lose stuff can you still be ADHD?

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 ?

How to “double-check” on stimulants? I know I need to triple check things all the time but never actually do it on stims. It’s like it makes you DO DO DO without thinking and pausing to reflect!

Has anyone had any luck with ADHD coaching apps like Inflow?
