How’s everyone spending their quarantine period?

Im about 25% body fat in my 30s. I feel like I’ve lost muscle for all the cleanses and real low calorie intake I’ve done to lose weight. Is it ok if I try and bulk for a few month to gain some muscle back? I don’t mind if I look a little bigger. But then after I build some muscle I cut correctly.

Really struggling with breakfast. I tend to just skip it because I get overwhelmed trying to find something healthy and quick early in the morning. It makes me irritable af in the afternoons and makes focusing even harder. anyone have tips for this?

Has anyone tried easing off of the keto diet after a while into a healthy/balanced diet with more carbs? Do you gain all the weight back if you are smart about portioning and nutrients?

Any 🐠 get Invisalign in Boston - recommendations on where? How was the experience during your treatment? Was between Smilebar or Align Dental.

Just had a consult at Smilebar. Ortho was ridiculously rude, spoke really fast, dismissed my concerns. Laughed at a few of my questions, rolled eyes at one. Everything was pressure to get me to commit ~$5.8k on the spot during a *15 minute consult*.

Just discovering RSD after being diagnosed as an adult. I feel like SO MUCH of my life has been impacted by this and I just never had a name for it. At work if someone gives me negative or constructive feedback it can feel like a punch in the chest even if I know it's not personal. Makes romantic relationships so hard too. What do you do to handle it especially at work?

Was there anyone who got a dropbox appointment successfully in India. Keep refreshing the site but no luck yet.

Would anyone mind summarising the basics of succeeding in consulting with ADHD?

Context: Diagnosed with ADHD during college recently joined MBB. I've previously managed my ADHD (both before and after diagnosis) with lots and lots of exercise, but this is no longer possible with my new job. Would like to avoid the hard meds if possible.

MBA admit here and have to put down a deposit soon, having serious cold feet right now due to the covid situation and potentially having to start virtually. Would love any perspective on how it's been particularly socially and what your schools' outlook on the fall is

Has anyone been hospitalized for their depression? How did it go? And we’re you able to get disability from your insurance policy at work?

Can anyone recommend some good resources (books maybe?) for learning about intermittent fasting? Seems to be a lot of contradictory crap online.

4+ months sober. I do zoom AA every day but this was the first time I shared as a newcomer. I have some phone numbers from the group and hoping to get a sponsor soon. I plan to be sober 1 year before I can think of doing the steps. I read Living Sober and The Big Book every day in addition to prayer and mindful meditation. But would love to chat with someone “telephone therapy” can be something like Discord or WhatsApp.

Is it possible to make a VBA userform that let's me interact with the workbook? I know how to create the form but default seems to be that I can't do anything else in the workbook until the form is closed.

If applying to BCG, is it a must to get a referral or is it still possible to apply direct and get an interview?

I know of the top-tier agencies (BBDO, DDB, Ogilvy, etc) but I don’t know who the top-tier marketing consultancies are. Is there a real list somewhere, that isn’t filled with design/logo shops?

Well, I was the one who broke it off. I couldn’t get him to love me the way I needed or even respect me enough. It’s been 6 weeks of not seeing each other. We messaged this week. He doesn’t get it…. His messages show he still doesn’t know what he wants. Yet, if I am totally honest, I hate how part of me wishes he would do a grand gesture/finally decide to be a better man. It’s delusional. It’s crazy how love can be so rosy, sweet & blinding that the red flags seem surmountable.

I was laid off a couple months ago from my content writer job at a B2B SaaS company. I made 55k. I am seeking entry/associate level digital marketing positions in Boston and am trying to figure out what salary to shoot for. I have a year and some change of experience in content writing, email marketing, and SEO. I also have dabbled in sales and government work for nearly a year. I have a B.A. from a selective uni. I have been told to shoot for 65-75k for my next job. Does this sound right?

Can anyone tell there experience at Fiserv? there day-to-day as a business systems analysis

Hi fishes,

Is it true that product based companies have better work life balance than service based. I recently joined a big IT firm after my MBA in process improvement (quality). After two months of working 12-13 hours a day i realize this is not going to work for me. Looking for something less hectic (like 10hrs a day max). Is it only possible in product based companies?

In-house people: how do you handle not getting what you need for PR efforts because other teams don’t understand the level of detail you need? Would also appreciate any advice on how to educate non-PR/Comms team members on how to support you.

For context, I’m a solo PR Manager at a tech startup and really struggling to get basic information/commitments to allow me to do my job.

Hi Fishes,

I have received an offer of 28 LPA for Lead I - Software Developer position at UST Global. I would be joining Bangalore location.

I am Appian Developer with 6 years of experience. Since I did not get to interact with any UST employees (other than HR) during the interview process, could anyone tell me more about the company and its culture?

PS: Would like to connect with Appian professionals working there, if possible.

Anyone else struggle to enter time daily? If you’ve overcome this hurdle, how did you do it? I keep a notebook for my time and then send it off to a secretary to enter but I still miss so much of it that I always have to go back through my emails.

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.

Those of you on Adderall—do you find that you have a harder time holding onto your thoughts when on medication? I feel much better on the medication, but I think it’s doing something to my memory.

Has anyone had any experience with online platforms prescribing ADHD medications? I’ve seen ads for Done and wanted others input. I was diagnosed 21 years ago and have been treated by doctors every month since, so I don’t need an initial diagnosis. But my health insurance changed and my doctor is no longer covered. I can’t get in to a new doctor without a long wait, nor do I have time to take off work for the appointment, which is why I was leaning towards a virtual appointment. Thanks!

How do you guys manage to eat when you're swamped? Between my workload and the stress of the upcoming holidays, I feel like eating just gets totally forgotten.

Has anyone switched from 5 mg of Adderall XR to 10 mg? Can you describe the difference? I just started and feel the subtle improvement from before, but not sure if it should be more apparent/helpful.

I've struggled a lot with my ADHD in my new position. Lately I've had some really good days and done good work. I know I should be happy about it, but my thoughts keep getting negative, like I know it won't last. Do you guys ever get imposter syndrome like this? How do you deal with it?

I’m going to be taking the bar for the first time. Does anyone have experience with requesting accommodations for the bar exam? I was diagnosed late in life so I’m worried that not having accommodations during law school will make this process difficult. Additionally, any study tips/schedules/prep courses you recommend for lawyers with ADHD?!

Lit associates-what all do you delegate to your assistant? What do you ask them to do that helps you manage your symptoms?

Anyone up for sharing your wisdom on preparing for the LSAT with ADHD?

I’m so over the cross-examination at CVS every time I have to fill a prescription. Are you really trying to play doctor right now????

My partner is a lawyer with ADHD, diagnosed as an adult, and about eight years into our 11 year relationship. We're working on him articulating how his brain works, and I want understand his experience as best I can.

What's the one thing you wished your (non-ADHD) spouse/partner understood about living with ADHD?

Share your best work tips and tricks! For example, I recently spent about an hour setting up rules in Outlook to auto-filter junk emails and non-urgent emails (client alerts, data room notifications, bar association emails, etc.) into a separate folder that I can check a couple times a day. Don’t know how I didn’t think to do this years ago, but that’s about 50 fewer distractions each day since I’m one of those people who checks every email notification.

Does anyone else struggle with remembering to eat lunch on busy days? I totally forget to feed myself and end up tired and cranky by the end of the day because of it.

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

Tips for just getting started, with the day especially, or even just a bad task later on after a few productive hours? I can have a stack of billables to do, but if it isn’t truly urgent, it’s just like a giant mental wall preventing me from getting things done. Medicine doesn’t help. It’s like I need the fear of god in me to get anything done and the moment I’m not scared of getting fired, I just... can’t. Things are OK at 2 am for some reason though.

So I was fired yesterday. I’m choosing to see this as an opportunity to make some changes, instead of just jumping into another law firm job I’m not cut out for. Does anyone have recommendations for career coaches, ADHD coaches, or ideally someone who does both?

Should I just quit the legal field?

I have been a paralegal or legal assistant since 2010. I have worked for small and large firms and a TPA. I've worked in L&E, PI, and ID. Billing hours gave me nightmares. Right now I'm in a hybrid paralegal/LA position where I'm responsible for all of the docketing and supporting the managing partner and 1 associate and their 90+ ID caseload. I make a lot of mistakes everywhere I work. I feel so incompetent. Should I just abandon this career path?
