Job-Hunting reach-out to VC from previous fundraising effort for own startup
I have e-mail archive from 1y ago of my reach-out to 65 VCs in London: we had video calls, they might remember me still, who knows.
I want to send a reply/forward message to the same e-mail thread from abc@gmail.com, saying that I am looking for roles within their VC firm. Is that a good idea?
Or shall I just start new email thread and mention how I know them?
Your most positive customer interaction?

...office and edit my emails before sending, but I'm pretty sure that my struggles are largely in part to these things and I'm afraid it's only going to get worse. Any women out there who have gone through something similar that might have some advice?
Is your doctor recommending hormones and or psych meds? They could help.
Also, regarding anger at work, you might have valid (non-medical) reasons to be angry. One thing that happened to me after 50 was I stopped dealing with BS. I no longer work with people who lack integrity. I’ve walked away from several projects, and focus only on projects that work for me. It is an expensive choice but my life is better when I’m not seething over dumb shit.
I feel you. Same for me!
I have been through this and it is no walk in the park. That’s for sure. I tried hormone therapy, I tried gummies. Neither really helped. I even played roller derby for about 11 years and the physical activity did help a lot! However, I still struggled with depression. I finally gave in and started taking Wellbutrin. It has made a big difference in my mood, with anxiety, and taming a little bit of menopausal rage. That is an actual thing. My best advice to you as someone with ADHD and who coaches others with ADHD: be as mindful as possible. Use your employer’s EAP. Try the Calm app. Work out and make sure you are hydrating adequately. Clean up your diet a little bit if it needs it. I hadn’t even realized that my diet was trash.😆 take a really good probiotic. I suck at meditating, but listening to a mindfulness five minute thing on Calm really does help me. I wish you the best of luck. It’s not easy to get through. Just know that you are not alone. 
There was a comment about medications that was flagged by someone, but I could see it in my inbox, and thought I would comment because medication (or not taking medication) is a part of life, neurodivergency and health. My doctor has mentioned me trying citalopram for two weeks every month, or using hormonal birth control methods to alter my progesterone levels, but I'm hesitant. However, being incredibly depressed (in the literal use of the term) and miserable for several days a month is becoming unbearable and it's effecting my job among other areas of my personal life. I had only talked to my doctor about PMDD, but after now seeing how peri menopause can have really harsh effects on women with ADHD, I'm wondering if my PMDD isn't necessarily getting worse, but if early stages of menopause might be compacting my symptoms. I don't know of the treatments for that--but I assume also chemical and hormonal to balance out all my imbalances. I do already take Adderall, which I am so grateful for, but am concerned about chemical changes in my body and trying to adjust with even more chemical changes. I'm moody enough as it is!
Some studies have shown links between PMDD and heightened histamine. You could try OTC Pepcid or talk to your doctor about prescription Famotidine, it’s helped me quite a bit. Would be nice if we could get more studies about ADHD in Women and specifically how and why it worsens other things like this.
