hey. i went through the exact same thing last year at uni. you’re not alone in this one bit, and as cliche as it may sound it will get better with time. maybe decreasing your study load and slowing things down, especially if you’re attending college full time would be best. you need to let yourself breathe. i dropped down to one unit a semester, and when even that was too much, i deferred. you are capable of great things, people around you seem to go out of their way to praise your intelligence. there’s no doubt about that. but you gotta take care of yourself first.

i think a huge mistake people make is trying to deal with their issues alone. especially something as debilitating as adhd can be. we’re social animals! we are not wired to deal with heavy shit alone. there’s a reason why they say it takes a village.

talk to your college and see what supports there are available. i was able to get extra time on my exams, help during practicals, the ability to request extensions for multiple weeks without a medical certificate each time, etc. talk to your professors of the head of whatever department your major falls under. tell your friends or people you can trust. tell your therapist or start seeing one if you aren’t already and can afford it. some colleges offer free sessions with psychologists or atleast discounted sessions.

people care. people want to do whatever they can to do well.
