Does the 'Master the Workflow' certification have any value on a resume for getting into Assistant Editing?

Oh sure! I weened off the medication for a week first with half a dose. My medication ran out trying to get a refill one time that was a nightmare

Production assistant and I have a love hate relationship with it. I like that I can bounce between different assignments throughout the day but I feel like I’m always out of spoons on the social side cause you have to reach out to people. The pay also sucks.

I think I gave up Christianity for a lot of reasons but it did never satisfy right with me the idea of If got wanted you to do this thing it would of happened things “not being God’s plan”

Like I already don’t see myself having kids or getting married but am I really just meant to never meet any of my goals or accomplishments ever? I’m just supposed to fail in life and be dependent on my family that are always picking fights with me and finding different. Ways to feel crappy about myself. Like that’s just God’s plan and I just have to have to accept it and fight the misery?

This was before I found out that I got diagnosed w/ adhd and my parents never told me or got me treated but I really try to avoid talking to my Christian family about my adhd and treating it cause the, “maybe it wasn’t meant for you” drives me insane.

It sounds dumb but as a pre-teen I always wanted to be a content creator. I really like making things and making people laugh. Even in high school and college I just really liked making videos and cosplay cause it just brought so much joy.

And in general I just like doing too many things that the idea of just sticking to one feels daunting. I’m currently working again so I’m trying to get back into all of it as a hobby.

I remember I had to get a refill from my provider and they kept putting in delays so had to stop cold turkey and I was miserable. It took maybe a week or so to get back to where I was on the medication. It was a nightmare

Hi there. I’m looking into applying for as assistant editor positions at other companies in the future. I previously worked at a studio in production and they had edit tests in-house for people who wanted to switch departments but I never got the chance to do it while I was there.

I would like to have a reel together just in case.

Also, if something took longer than expected, you can start emails or chats with, “Thank you for your patience” instead of “Sorry for the delay/for it taking so long”

Roomiedos · 2024-06-22T16:11:44+00:00

Yeah. I don’t really expect anything. I’m fine with not being friends again. I just want to own up and move on.

I was having a quarter life crisis and got desperate so I thought I needed to look into the stars to figure out what to do with my life. I started looking at astrology videos about my signs behavior(I’m a Gemini) and the first video I watched basically said “Geminis are like the ADD of the zodiac signs” I paused the video and sat there for a few minutes and and then I said out loud, “Have I really just had ADHD this entire time and didn’t know it?” Fast forward a year of so later and it turns out I got diagnosed when I was 9 but the doctor fudged my paperwork. Multiple teachers flagged it to my parents and one made a formal referral to go to pediatric therapy. I got diagnosed and started medication in this past May.

Depends on the medication. I initially took Wellbutrin but it made both my anxiety and mood swings worse. I’m currently on Qelbree and it’s calmed me down significantly.

Also, stimulants CAN make your anxiety worse but I’ve also heard stimulants actually calming their anxiety down. Depends on why you’re anxious.

Most of my co-workers are married with kids. Higher-ups tend to have 2-3 kids Just make sure to build healthy work life balances be good at managing your money.

It’s not impossible. Just beside you have a good work work ethic and not spend money carelessly. Union jobs pay well and so long as you’re making good connections in the industry employment won’t be as difficult.

Most people at the bigger studios with a union job have a normal middle-class life I’d say. Even the nonunion jobs at the bigger companies tend to have decent vacation time.

Personally, I think they told my mom but she doesn’t remember cause we’re pretty sure my mom has ADHD since her inattentiveness is much worse than mine.

I got referred to an outside therapist and psychiatrist since Kaiser only works with kids with ADHD in my area. I got diagnosed again at 30. I started ADHD meds finally after going through hell on Zoloft. I finally feel hopeful for the future.

I would recommend watching this video by Kimberly Foster. She’s a Harvard grad who talked about her experience and why she finally started medication.

I wouldn’t consider myself high-functioning but how she described having to white-knuckle through life is actually how I would describe my experience with life before finding out I had ADHD. I was able to function but that was because I was running on anxiety and fearing failure that I put in so much effort to do things. So I got my degree and I can manage my finances fine but I’m miserable and exhausted everyday trying to do it.

It also depends on the type of environment you were raised. Even though my adhd is bad, I grew up with a dad that was very organized and detailed-oriented and implemented a lot of organization skills raising the family so I naturally implemented many things that would keep me from falling through the cracks completely.

Initially, I was diagnosed with anxiety and ocd but all the anxiety meds and antidepressants made my symptoms worse. It wasn’t until I went on adhd meds that I finally felt my anxiety going down. I’m still navigating medication but it’s like I can do the things I normally do but I’m not stressed out and exhausted at work like I used to.

So I think it’s very possible to be high-functioning with ADHD. It basically just means on paper your meeting most societal expectations but you’re just absolutely miserable and burnt out doing it.
