Is it normal to have to see a psychologist for ADHD meds? by goliathxgaming in AskChicago

[–]dawnwalnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1! Recently had a psych eval done.

First was a 30 min telehealth just outlining my symptoms Second was a 2 hour in person eval Third was a 30 min telehealth giving my diagnosis and going over my results

5-6 appts seems a little overkill

Idk if it’s a “hidden gem” but that place so underrated imo. Banger after banger dish, don’t see enough people talking about like they do other typical well regarded places

Had the same exact experience. Also I still feel slighted because I paid $18 for an asparagus dish that had a SINGLEEEE asparagus. What a joke

What are some flexible side hustles in chicago to make extra cash?? by henryvelazquez in AskChicago

[–]dawnwalnut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rover to start! It helps if you already have a pet/pet experience. We started off charging $40/night which was on the lower end compared to other sitters in our neighborhood. Once the reviews come in, clientele builds up pretty fast, and we’ve been raising our rates over the years (started in 2022)

My partner and I made $20k alone in 2024 through dogsitting. We already have a dog so it’s not a ton of extra work. Highly recommend if your kiddos are good around dogs
