  • Job boredom and burnout?

    Jump

  • Yes… I know exactly what you mean!

    I had tried to carve out a Lean/Process improvement role for myself but it didn’t work out.

    Looks like I might get to move into M&A soon which would be good though, new stuff to learn and try and all that jazz.

    Thanks for the insights !!

  • Yo… I was referred to them in April 2024 and got my diagnosis in November… it was a long slog but eventually came through.

    When I first picked them as the RTC partner the wait time was only like 6 weeks but by the time my GP got around to it the waitlist got much longer 🤦‍♀️.

    The process with them has been good though, so best of luck!

  • I have the same problem but it’s two watches (despite turning off the setting that means either watch should have an alarm linked to the phone)

  • what exercises work for you to avoid back pain?

    Jump

  • As others have mentioned, core exercises will be key here.

    Some more traditional non-core exercises like squats and deadlifts will be engaging your core muscles (and a reminder that your ‘core’ is your whole trunk/body and not just your abs!), but you can progress this along with additional core exercises.

    As someone that sits a lot for work, I really like to do ‘supermans’ and variations of them, a basic one is to lie flat on your stomach with arms and legs extended, then raise your arms and legs off the floor. You can hold, do them as reps, “swim” in the air, add in some pulls (like an overhead row if you have a resistance band or something you can attach in front of you).

    Yoga has been mentioned below, but I would add Pilates to the list as well, there are plenty of core exercises to go at.

  • Titration question - Elvanse

  • Probably a question for your healthcare provider or dial 111 if you need more urgent advice (assuming you are UK, otherwise look up the non emergency number for your area).

  • Thank you so much, I think this is going to be a massive help!

  • I like the idea of having a morning coffee again (I did a couple of days on the 30 and just took the dose a bit later), which made my mornings feel a bit more relaxed..

    Getting the timing right is a bit tricky as my workday can vary but that’s something I will (hopefully) get better at over time…

    Do you have any issues taking a break? I have been wondering if skipping a day or two would be a bad idea once I’m settled in a bit, although if I get the dose right maybe I won’t feel that need.

  • Thanks for this, yes looking forward to chatting with him and getting this adjusted back down to a lower dose which I think is the right thing for me.

  • It could be exhaustion. I tried having a much higher protein breakfast this morning (ended up with a hot Huel meal in the end) and I didn’t feel quite as zombie-ish today but I still think everything is a bit too muted on this dose.

    I still have a few days of the 50mg left and then I’m due to go up to 60, with my follow up with the doc next week.

  • How do you split the capsules? Are they just powder inside?

    I am scared to open one 😅

  • Thank you for this, really appreciate the feedback and your experience!

    I think you are right, and I like the idea of having a booster available but not necessarily something to take daily unless it’s needed.

  • UK - Right to Choose (Post Diagnosis)

  • I really hope so!

    If anyone has any questions about using adhd 360 as their RTC provider as well I am happy to answer them (I’ll add that to my post as well!)

  • Help with "Right to Choose"

    Jump

  • I just recently had my assessment with ADHD360 - I had picked them because at the time they had the shortest waiting list (although my GP was slow so I was delayed…)

    I found the whole process quite smooth. Some online assessments and questionnaires, and an input for health data (height/weight BP,HR) - they sent me a home blood pressure machine for this.

    The assessment itself was something I had been stressing over but my assessor was friendly, and anytime I got stuck he would ask a probing or clarifying question which was very useful.

    Best of luck!

  • Not in this case as he is a minor so the records aren’t public.

  • A passport on your smartphone: EU pledges faster, smoother border checks by 2030

  • I was not aware the share codes last that long now, the last time I used one (for work, although this was several years ago) it was only valid for 4 days and my employer refused to accept it which was a whole thing. I was under the (incorrect) impression that the system for border clearance would be worse than that. So I have changed my mind on this point despite your flippant comment, which was argumentative for no reason.

    On the case of trusting the UK government to manage the immigration status digitally for people I still have my doubts. They don’t have the best track record.

    I have my own UK passport now so I am a bit out of the loop but any sort of system where a person doesn’t have offline proof of their status that they can keep seems like it is open to issues (although physical only also has its issues so there are pros and cons no matter how you approach it).

  • Ha! I am from the south but haven’t lived in the US since 2009…. I do still go to waffle house when I go visit my family though 😅

    It’s the A1 on the hashbrowns that draws me back.

  • I don’t quite understand why you are dismissing this person’s concerns like this. The codes are available for a very short period so there is a chance that if there is a WiFi or other network outage they genuinely could not get to the code.

    It’s also not as though the UK has the best record when it comes to managing immigrants despite their promises.

    You are welcome to do a quick google on what happened to Windrush immigrants, the trouble that EU immigrants have had post-brexit, and UKVI’s general rules, wait times, and fees. Much like the US, the UK’s immigration policy has been made highly hostile to many forms of immigration, limiting options for families and managing to bungle things at several junctures.

    I agree that it is hard to put faith in a system like this where your immigration status relies on the availability of a network or even a single government site with no physical or offline backups.
