Hi. I recently have been interested in shifting my career goals. I’m super excited at the prospect, but I’m worried about getting a medical and passing the adhd testing because ive heard its all very difficult. Ive been diagnosed with ADD (aswell as poor working memory, and OCD symptoms all due to my ADD) since i was little and been on meds for years. i have been on them off and on the last 3 years and havent really taken them much at all the last year, but am a little sad to have to stop taking them forever if i become a pilot because they help me feel so normal and productive. I feel that with enough practice and repetition and lifestyle changes i could do the job and manage my adhd with enough discipline. But then i get in my head that i wont be good enough either lol. Im a 25 year old female. My dad has been a commercial airline pilot here in the US for a long time. ill be taking a discovery flight in july to see if its really something i want to pursue. i also need to do more research on what flight school entails and all the little things an airline pilot does as part of their day to day job. ill luckily have my dad to guide me and answer a lot of question. But i wanted to ask you guys if you had any tips or thoughts or anecdotes on my whole thing lol. Any words of encouragement or advice? Anyone gone through this with adhd? what was the outcome? hopefully saying all this doesnt get me blacklisted or something from the industry… let me know if i need to remove it if so 💀

Hello!! I’ve read a lot about lead in paint and PU leather and such being in toxic levels often from drop-shippers or cheap bags made in china, i was wondering if anyone had any reliable companies/bags that wouldn’t use toxic materials!! :D
