I’m a first year and I’m probably screwed if I don’t change everything about the way I operate. I sit around in my office and probably do about 8 hours of work a week on a good week. My work product and timeliness is consistent with that work ethic.

Shrinks have diagnosed me with ADHD at various stages of my life ever since I was in second grade. Meds don’t work for me (I’ve been given Wellbutrin, adderall, Ritalin, vyvanse, and even modafinil). I did poorly in high school because I could never get all the reams of bullshit assignments done, but was fine in undergrad because I had a chip on my shoulder and chose easy classes where the grades were based on a handful of assignments. Didn’t do jack shit in law school because of the H/P system.

No matter how big or small the assignment, I don’t feel the pressure that compels me to start until the eleventh hour. It seems like I’m going to blow multiple deadlines pretty soon with the amount of work I’ve been assigned recently. The odd part is that I genuinely enjoy the nature of work in my practice area, but that’s not enough to get me to start anything.

Taking advice and/or abuse. Sorry for the TLSesque post, not a copy and paste but I thought about posting there. Thought I’d find more kindred spirits here.

No, lol. But most of it is conditioning and having never developed the necessary coping mechanisms.

I always did well enough on tests that I got through to LS fine. LS and practicing are a different matter though, so you're going to have to work twice as hard or risk losing your job.

I didn't have time for CBT lol but that's what everyone says to ppl with adhd. And if you're not responding to meds well, it's partly behavioral.

I've been working on that shit in my own way on my own, though. To help keep motivated I break shit down into smaller tasks and reward myself. Not the healthiest, but it's effective. Cigarettes, alcohol, weed, etc...at the heart of it ADHD is a dopamine disorder, so you gotta feed the beast if you're going to get anything done.

You literally have to Principal Skinner it, break it up into little segments and try to break your record, and do what the dude says above and give yourself little rewards at various increments. You set a goal to work for 10 minutes straight and then you reward yourself with 10 minutes of fucking around time. Literally set timers. Then go for 15/15. Then try to do 20/10, 30/15, 40/20, 45/15. By the time you're able to do 50/10 and stick with that you're basically a normal person.

Also try to pick rewards that aren't hard to detach from. E.g. I can't use autoadmit, but looking at ESPN is great because I usually can't read it for more than 10 minutes before I see something that pisses me off anyway, so when the time goes off I have no problem xing out.

This dude is right. I used to smoke a pack a day, but I've cut down to only at work. For the most part, I take a short smoke break every hour....try to get that email out or finish that draft before the hour is up. Smoke, pick a new task and get that done before the next hour. Rinse and repeat. I've stopped smoking outside the office unless im out drinking or something.

Thanks, the way you phrase this actually makes normalcy sound realistic to achieve, which gave me a moment of relief. I’ve tried the pomodoro method with more breaks than recommended and enjoyed some success. But I’ve probably only used it for ~5 hours total in my life. Should try that again ASAP

There are like 15 checks and balances on biglaw first year associates. Your secretary is trusted to do more critical shit then you. Just go painstakingly slowly, do your best and use the dbg billing method and you’ll survive 3 years. After that find something else to do with your life.

Just looked at my time tracker and felt a wave of anxiety because I haven’t billed my time for the past two weeks and have two weeks of nothingness in January where I sat around. On top of that I haven’t started something I said I would finish yesterday, which will take more than a day.

Should I talk to somebody at the firm about this? I think many of my law school classmates turn to friends from their summer class for a source of support. Without getting into too many details, I don’t have that and it’s not my fault that I don’t.

Don’t know what to do. I’d take time off without pay until I figured this out if I could, but I realize that’s unlikely to be an option.

I pull up the work I need to do. Spend maybe 30 seconds concentrating before I find that I’ve been staring into empty space for an hour. Sometimes I break off the spacing out by reading and rereading the same article on a news site over and over again. I refresh my personal email constantly even though I never get anything worth reading. The stuff that is worth reading like overdue bills doesn’t get fixed and my electricity actually cut off the other day. I remember some person I met years ago and look them up on Facebook. Check the box score for last nights games even though it’s my 10th time looking at it for that day.

Honestly I'd keep it as close to the chest as possible. Do you have a psychiatrist? If not make an appointment today. If you're in LA I can give you a referral if you don't have anyone else to go to.

Or if you want a functioning brain, keep it low and slow. For the most part, the battle is just starting a task, which even small amounts of adderall will help with.

So adderall definitely does fuck up boner quality or you just mean bc it will make you crazy and annoying/up at all hours if you really go HAM on it? I’ve only tried adderall once but I did notice that higher doses of vyvanse made my dick function worse and my dick is generally awesome at getting hard and cumming over and over again.

First, vyvanse is shit. See below. Second, it amps make you irritable which is not good for relationships. They also restrict blood to your extremities, so your penis will shrink. Seems to only effect it when flaccid, though.

Here are some tips:

1) Lists are your friend. You should have two—a “master task list” thats for stuff in the long term that requires concerted progress, and a daily task list—use your phone—where anthing you have in the relatively short term goes on there. When you think of something new, it goes on the list. When it’s completed, you remove it.

2) Figure out what your attention span is. Use stopwatches to see how long you can focus on a task before getting initially distracted, and how long you can go before acting on that distraction. This is important because part of the disability of ADHD is poor time management and ultimately poor time perception.

3) One thing that’s very useful, and can be done by a reasonably intelligent layperson (and I assume you are), is to dip your toe into the cognitive side of cognitive behavioral therapy. Our condition means that some of our thoughts and beliefs about ourselves and our capabilities are inaccurate—some of that due to the chemical disorder underlying the condition, and some of that as a response to the experiences you’ve had with this condition. You might undervalue yourself because of troubles adhd has caused at school or work, or you may overstate your capabilities to yourself.

Thanks to everybody for the advice. I’m on Vyvanse on a higher dose as of this morning and the difference feels like night and day this time, but maybe I’m just having a good day. I haven’t tried meds for work admittedly until now, just school, and I had huge problems with compliance. We’ll see what unfolds. I’m optimistic.

Vyvanse is just a weaker version of adderall. The pharma maker’s patent on adderall ran out, so they just removed one of the active ingredients (one of the amp salts in their “mixed amp salts”) and called it a new drug. Then they got all of the crooked psychiatrists to start pushing it instead of the generic version of adderall. Costs 10x as much and is less effective. Tell your dude that you want the addy generic instead.

120. The pure dextro (vyvanse) is way better for social interaction. That's why they were holding out on it.

Granted the levo will fire you like a rocket into work mode but you get none of the euphoria of the dex and if ur like me, enough of the old time levo/dex mix will turn you into a benzodiazapine addict just to be able to converse with others while gAKKing out on that mix.

I tried to get some kind of medication about ten years ago when I was flaming out of grad school and couldn't figure out why. School I was at had a clinic where you go in for about six hours and get a full workup for ADD/ADHD--meet with a therapist, psychometric testing, etc.

They told me I didn't have it. In particular they talked about my performance on an test that was basically "Simon Says" on a computer screen--if a certain symbol flashed on the screen, you would click a button, but if a different symbol flashed, you wouldn't click. I don't know how well I did on it, but apparently people who they think have real ADD/ADHD fall asleep during the test. So ok.

Made my way into the lucrative field of comma checking, which is obviously a poor fit for someone with attention issues, which in turn kicks off comorbid conditions. Wife has been on my case about seeing psychologist/psychiatrist because of these conditions. Generally, my response was that I had seen both in the past and not found them helpful. My last therapist kicked me out after two and a half sessions.

A few weeks ago, though, had a really bad night--heart pounding, up until 4AM, etc. So I found some rando psychiatrist on ZocDoc who took my insurance. Go in there, talk about issues, including getting denied a dx before, and somehow walk out of there with a script for both Vyvanse and Xanax. This lady might be a pill mill. I don't know.

Initial experience is that Vyvanse calms me the fuck down at work. Not really superfocused so much as that, typically, if I have four things to do, if I start on one of them, I will have constant anxiety about not doing the other three. That shit is way down now.

Law is shit, pure shit. You need to acknowledge that and accept that fact first. You may have ADHD, and that will make it worse, but law is shit.

The only people who succeed long term in law and don't end up with clinical depression are autists who enjoy spending countless hours paying attention to small details and minutiae. You can try various techniques to help you concentrate on this horrid shit, but to what end? In four years you'll be unable to look at a tall building without dreaming about the wooosh-splat as you jump.

If this is not you, just get out. Coast for a year to collect the paycheck and pay down some debt. Then get the fuck out.

If someone is ADHD, or generally just not into "attention to detail" (analyzing every word of a 60 page contract, for example), but is are fairly outgoing, then sales is a much better alternative.

Non "h" addmo mid/senior biglaw here.

In some ways Biglaw is good bc of the constant pressure. If I'm slow on work I will do nothing before I touch the non-time sensitive shit festing for years on my to-do list.

If you have the option, try to switch to a practice area or work with partners that have lots of short term fire drills.

Don't take breaks. I regularly take my gakk and work from 10am to 11pm with no eating except some candy bars or fruit my firm puts out. Even going to the cafeteria in the building breaks the rhythm too much. If I get real lunch I end up telling myself I can just read some news while I eat then I spend the next 2 hours reading Wikipedia or whatever.

Don't go on social media. Don't even download the apps on your phone. This is a good tip for non-addmos too. Facebook news feed and Igram are designed like a slot machine to exploit your brain's dopamine/reward system.

Use timers and bill all your time. Block bill until someone tells you not to.

Don't try to work casually on nights or weekends from home. Stay at the office and grind and then take the whole weekend off to recover. Addmos can get in a groove and be super focused for long periods of time. They can't multitask or jump from work to leisure and back.

Don't start the day with news or personal shit. Try to bill every minute you are in the office until at least noon. Hopefully by then you get in the groove and just keep going.

M&A, finance or anything transactional will have a good tempo for addmos. I don't do lit but imagine it would be bad if you have several weeks to submit a brief or in trusts and estates where there's no rush to get a deal done.

Very doable. Don't sweat the short term performance. Firms are desperate for bodies and first years are cheap. Just find your rhythm and don't fall behind entering time.

Usually about 15mg generic addy in the morning weekdays and about 4 cups of coffee. This is half what I'm prescribed. I couldn't see taking 30mg everyday long term.

Not 99%ile but a few questions away. When I studied I’d do one section and play NBA jam for 30 mins. Even with the one section I had issues with concentration and made stupid mistakes. Didn’t have the endurance on the actual test and felt lucky enough with the score I did get.

My partner is a defense attorney and was actually diagnosed because her coworkers after law school encouraged her to see someone. (Turns out the gigantic case load, lack of funding for extra resources, and hectic/stressful environment at the PD office exacerbated the symptoms of her then untreated ADHD. Who woulda thunk it?? Lol.) Now she has her own practice. It's small and there is only one employee - me, who also has ADHD - but we've kept it alive for just over a year now!

There is definitely some added stress when our symptoms collide. She's forgetful with appointments so I write down every single thing in our fancy schedule book.... and then she proceeds to temporarily lose it 10 times throughout the day. She tells me that a phone number on a scrap of paper is important, so I put it in a very safe place until I can properly add it to the file, and pretty much immediately forget where that safe place is.

However, I firmly believe that her ADHD helps her to look at cases from every possible angle and flush out every possible scenario - which makes her a better attorney. Plus she can almost always correctly give you a specific statute number on the spot which I can't prove is part of her individual ADHD superpowers, but I think it is. I can't remember where I set that file 30 seconds ago, but I can tell you almost verbatim what story our client told us about their case a month ago and where I think there might be holes based on subtle changes in tone or body language and my hyperfocus is awesome when it's research time.

Despite all that word vomit I do have a point and it is this: ADHD is hard and frustrating and often gets in the way and complicates things, but it also gives you very specific superpowers, even if you haven't quite pinpointed them yet. Keep up the good work and use your ADHD powers to be a helluva attorney! Congratulations again and I hope you continue to see progress in your therapy!

Add definitely has advantages. The shrink who diagnosed me said some theorize it's a hunter/gatherer adaptation and not really a disorder at all. The add mind is open to all stimuli (some rabbit footsteps or a predator stalking) and is then capable of laser focus on some specific task to the exclusion of all others (building a shelter or tracking game). This causes issues in modern society where people are expected to devote moderate attention to multiple tasks, but can be used to advantage sometimes in biglaw, e.g. spotting any random issue and then laser focusing on how 7.6 interacts with 9.2. Not great for time management though because most of the issues u spot are useless and u can laser focus on the wrong thing and go down the rabbit hole for hours.

Wish I saw this earlier. Thanks for the encouragement. If anything, I’m not as intimidated by last minute fire drills, which seem to throw off some of the extra serious law review types I envied six months ago.

I’d never heard of this until March. Considering trying it, but vyvanse is fine this time around. I think shrinks always suggested stimulants because I’m the inattentive type adhd or whatever it’s called.

inattentive is the type that benefits from strattera. I started a couple months ago and I think it's helping me unlock mental powers (continuing with vyvanse at the same time, it's not a substitute).

Step 1) choose easy major in college and get a 3.5 or better despite barely attending class

Step 2) pwn the LSAT

Step 3) apply to all the T14 and go to the best school you get, ideally CCN, but could be MPV

Step 4) get top 80% of class or better grades

Step 5) if CCN successfully fog mirror at OCI, if MVP be somewhat chill and fratty at OCI
