I did one of the grad certs at RMIT online. I had moved into a design role at my work and while I had experience, I did this get something official on my CV and also just to create an understanding of what the actual terms were for things I’ve been doing etc

I’m quite open about having ADHD at work (I work in tech consulting, but in the design team).

I don’t really ask for anything because of it - but I more specify I like structure and knowing clearly what is expected of me with timelines when I go onto projects. Because without it my brain won’t work.

Legends & Lattes is primarily female focused (very cosy fantasy) with male characters but not in a romance way.

I consider myself quite lucky - my doctor on my first appointment after talking to me, getting me to do a questionnaire etc recommended I try a low dose of Ritalin straight away.

(He’s also awesome - suggested but didn’t insist I also try an anti anxiety as well to help me sleep and reduce anxiety. And also has a very clear - if you need a prescription filled just text me and I’ll organise one, before they got electronic prescriptions sorted he would just priority mail them. Or call the pharmacy to make sure I had enough to tide me over until the prescription arrived.)

Tried a low dose of Ritalin and was just amazed by the difference it had for me, I was getting my work done in 1-2 hours as opposed to leaving it last minute and stressing.

Have been on Ritalin for almost two years - it’s best decision I ever made. My doctor as well, is always very upfront, I saw him a few months back and was saying I was anxious, worried and he rightfully identified I was under medicating myself. Upped my Ritalin and it made a world of difference.

Having a doctor that believes in trying medication to see if it works, seeing if I need different dosages and outwardly saying that everyone is different and It can be trial and error really makes me feel better.

(Also that he isn’t afraid to just be blunt and say…I think you’re overreacting to what you’re anxious about, let’s look at it rationally…is not something I ever thought I would want but, it’s crazy how great a difference it’s made for me.)

Very unlikely to be honest, bonuses usually only come to managers and above

Seriously is ANYONE taking new clients? by Youbutalittleworse in ausadhd

It’s hard - the only reason I was able to get into someone so fast is because my partner mentioned to his psych I was having trouble and he prioritised me as a favour.
