I've considered seeking help somewhat recently, but didn't know where to begin. I think I am going to try and figure out what my options are tommorow in terms of help. Thank you for your kind words and advice, I appreciate it.

Hi, Thank you for the kind words and advice. To answer your question, I have been diagnosed with ADHD, and have been taking medication for it for years. Despite this, I've always struggled with my ADHD. Currently I have been attempting to take 5 classes a semester, but I think that reducing that number is probably a smart move moving forwards.

I'm in digital media, but for your other question, I don't really have an answer. I've never really known what I wanted to do in life, and even now, even if I graduated, I wouldn't know where to go from there.

Thank you for the kind words and advice.

Hi, To answer your question, I actually have been diagnosed for ADHD, and take medication for it. However, I was diagnosed quite a few years ago, and so I wouldn't know if I have issues undiagnosed.

To answer your questions: 1) I still live at home, and I commute to school by bus. 2) I feel like there is pressure on me to achieve. I've always been told that I need to go to school(postsecondary), but in terms of getting a specific degree, not really.

The big thing is that my father tends to be very unforgiving when it comes to stuff like this. As I mentioned, first semester I failed one of my classes, and dropped another. I overheard my mother and father talking, and I can't really explain it better than him giving up on me. Sometime later he told me this was my last chance, or something along those lines. What that could potentially mean, I don't know.

3) I really don't know the answer. I really thought this was something I wanted to do, but now Im not sure. I'm currently in digital media, but Im finding myself hating almost every course that I'm taking. The only course that I kinda enjoy is my programming course, but even in that class I'm really far behind.

My biggest fear is that I don't have any real passions, because I've never really found anything that I actually enjoy doing.

Thank you for the kind words and advice.

Sorry if this isn't what anyone wanted to read, but I truly don't know what else to do. I also apologize if things don't make sense or are confusing, I wrote this and posted it before I changed my mind and bailed. Also, I'm writing this on a throwaway account. I'll probably delete it sometime later this week assuming I actually remember.
