What support options have people found with managing typical adhd related frustration. I.e., getting annoyed with slow computers and/or when it being able to communicate an idea to a team or being treated passive aggressively etc.

I don’t see ADHD as justification for me being quicker to be frustrated by these things and having less filter than some but I know it’s common and maybe someone has found effective paths to improving their approach.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, stress/anger management and/or breathing exercises.

When you start feeling wound up, remove yourself from the situation, like walk away, ask your peers for a few minutes, take deep breaths, and ask yourself what is really frustrating you in the moment.

Woebot app is a cute little free chatbot that can help you through some CBT exercises- especially helpful if you think to go to it in those moments.

Also be aware of your sudden mood shifts, and be quick to explain to others that you get triggered easily and that it’s not a reflection of them. Apologize when necessary.

ADHD means you have issues with the executive part of your brain that little manager in your head who when you have the impulse of scream at my boss smash my laptop tells your body NO! If you have ADHD that executive is a bit lazy and sometimes goes AWOL so you just act on those impulses without the manager in your head stopping it.

Thoughts on buying pre-construction homes in markets that are popping and flipping selling them when construction is complete?

My uncle does this (he’s a realtor) and usually gets 2-3x return. Obviously there is huge risk because property prices can change a lot in 1-2 years, but at the same time the upside is hard to ignore.

Anyway I protect myself against the downside risk? (other than loosing my down payment)

What’s your take on a job listing that states “From $xx,xxx”

The particular job I’m looking at has this on the listing and I’m curious as to what their budget actually is. Do I assume a range?

They’re seeking someone with 5-8 years experience. I have the latter (8 almost 9)

How would I approach this when asked without pricing myself out of the position? Especially if they’re not willing to be upfront (assuming here) how much they’d want to offer me in particular.
