Do you feel it’s affecting your performance at work?
What’s behind you wanting to tell them? Is it by way of explanation of behaviour? Something else?

like

Thanks for the explanation. I’d be interested to see if others feel you should explain this.
What’s your relationship like with your boss? It might be an idea to let them know you’re aware you had some performance issues but you feel you’ve addressed these and are fully committed and raring to go.

What kinds of stimulants are we talking about?

Adderal

Would you tell them if you started taking blood thinners?

It would if you don’t take them. Point is, you are taking a medication for a condition and there’s no reason to disclose it. Unless you spin into crazy manias.

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
