What has everyone's experience with therapy been like? I feel like the therapy I go is nothing like it's portrayed in popular media.

I often just feel like I'm talking to a wall. I guess I was hoping that my therapist would engage me a bit more and try to offer potential solutions or activities that I could do to improve my RSD/anxiety/ADHD symptoms.

Cognitive behavioral therapy worked for me. Very interactive and helps you figure out how to handle your brain and ridiculous thoughts

My therapist focuses on specific techniques and systems for improving my life with ADHD. She also specializes in adult ADHD. Definitely not a blank wall.

I need recommendations for a good ADHD specialist! Especially one verses in adult ADHD.

Where are you?

Don Baker in Seattle is great. He does individual sessions, as well as run group classes. Really helped me understand how ADHD affects me (both strengths and weaknesses) and also learned a lot of tactical tips. Looks like he also offers classes online now!

V5 Legal Assistant here (2 years in industry, started at current firm in late April). I’m on pace for 2700 billable hours / year. To boot, that rate is going up because of all of the 65+ hour weeks lately, and the first month being billed around 40.

I was just told that I may not qualify for any bonuses because I haven’t been here for 1 year.

Is this normal? Am I crazy for thinking that I should be getting a *significant* bonus for all of the crazy hours and deadlines?

Associates, how did you balance your morning sickness and fatigue in early pregnancy with work? Thankfully I’m still WFH, but worried about receiving insane turnarounds that require me to stay up late/all night and the effect it might have on the baby. I’m past my hours for the year and feel like I should be able to say no, but the team I’m on has a tendency to push past no’s.

I recently switched to Strattera (had been on Adderall for 6 years) to see if it’d help my sleep issues. Been taking for 6 weeks total, almost 4 at the current dose.

Anyone else have this experience? Did it change over time?

How much would a 30 day supply of Vyvanse (30mg) cost me after insurance? I know this is going to vary by plan but I'm still curious as to know how expensive of a medication this is.

My pharmacy informed me that the insurance will not cover without authorization from the psych. My psych was wary about this & instead suggested Ritalin during my session. He mentioned that insurance companies want us to first try Ritalin because they are generally cheaper. How much truth is there to this? Thanks!
