What do you do if you can’t take meds because you have a family history of stroke, heart problems and hypertension?

Are there any meds that don’t make these conditions worse? Or are we just doomed to have to take the side effects?

I can’t take meds at all because of other conditions. I have to deal with bad brain days as they come, but I’ve found that learning the right coping strategies (meticulous lists, automating whatever you can to make your work-life easier — from house cleaners to meal services to dog walkers, gamifying work, finding the “right” ways to get dopeamine like working out). At the end of the day, it’s about reinforcing habits and not giving yourself an out because of your diagnosis.

You are not your diagnosis. It’s a part of you that you learn how to manage when it’s destructive (inattention) and leverage when it helps (hyperfixation).

Hope that helps

Yeah. It’s not even high reward tasks. It’s high reward overall projects. I can go through tasks like a machine once I understand how everything fits together. But when you know that what you’re working on is just because, it’s not very moving.

I have a family yesterday of all that, but it’s all environmental/diet/lifestyle. Workout, eat healthy, take the meds.

Would it be hard to get a exp associate role in advisory at a B4 as someone with about 10 months in audit at EY, 7 months experience in corporate accounting at a F300 and CPA? Hated my time at the F300 but had thought the grass would be greener in industry. I’m starting a financial analyst position at a major hospital system in my area soon and want to stick with that for a couple years before making a transition but was curious if I just don’t have the right experience for a role in advisory.
