Address it as soon as possible. Go see a psychiatrist and get some meds. I didn't know that I was legit battling this for the last 27 years. My parents pretty much always said "ADHD is a made up disease. He doesn't need meds, he just needs his butt beat more". I would consistently score in the upper 90 percentile on all my state tests yet I had all F's because I wouldn't do school work. I couldn't focus. Don't wait until you're a grown ass adult to get help.

Now I'm in school and essays and projects are literally the easiest things on the planet to do. The same homework that would take me 4 hours to do now takes 45 minutes.

PLEASE don't ignore your mental health

What put you over the edge to get help and what meds are you taking if you don't mind me asking

Wat r u taking

do i see my family doctor

They started me off on Methylphenidate (extended release) 18 mg tablet.

I still catch my ADD acting up but nowhere near as bad as before. And it's not overwhelming. My core personality is still here.

Only difference I really see is that I think before I speak. I feel like I'm a***yzing conversations and choosing whether or not there's even a reason to insert my input.

It’s a weird one tho cause those medications would make anyone do work faster. Not doubting your situation OP more like saying ADD medication is amazing lmao

I accidentally deleted my post my bad. To make it short I felt like I was too overly distracted. Females, my ohone, etc. And I'm not a lazy person. I put in over 70 hours of overtime on the regular. But when it came to school I could barely focus long enough to write a single paragraph.

Now I can bust down an essay in like an hour and half without any type of stress. In fact it feels therapeutic.

What was once a nearly impossible chore is nothing but a small task now

True. But it's not like I'm a high dosage Adderall. I still feel like me. Just without the overactive mind. I feel like my inner dialogue has relaxed and I'm thinking more linear

Boutta get tested soon for ADHD. Been meeting with a campus counselor and he seems to think that could be a big issue in regard to my perception issues and other things. Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon. Tired of having inconsistent motivation and s***
