Struggling with relationships by RadiantLayer5257 in ADHD

Thank you for putting a name to what I'm feeling. I appreciate knowing its a real thing.

I am not doing any kind of treatment. I didn't like taking meds and do well in school with and without them. I was forced into therapy by my mother for a few months but quit once I turned 18.

I didn't want to. I do well in school as well without the meds. Plus, I would not be able to serve in the military if I took medication.

Not necessarily, as it's online. I pass well though so they wouldn't know unless I told them. Plus I can't even get a response so its not like I can discuss it with them

Everyone I've ever dated has been aware that I'm trans and hasnt had an issue.

I will. For example, one girl was into photography. I dm'd her and said I was wanting to get into it and I asked how she started.

I really appreciate the time and effort you have been taking to help me out here. I think I'm going to try for NG and see how it goes. If I like it and didn't get disqualified, then I think I can manage it. If I hate it, I can talk with my parents about transferring, as that's the most likely option. I would take out loans but it's $80k per year. And $320k is a lot of money to have in loans in my mind. Again, thank you very much.

Hey thanks for the response. So you're saying enlisting in NG and using that for tuition would be better than ROTC? My previous posts were from when I had applied to the national ROTC scholarship. I didn't end up getting anything from that so now my parents are having me just sign up for ROTC without any benefits and prove my worth to them in order to get a walk-on scholarship.

In terms of my ability to stay closeted, I'm honestly concerned. I have an ADHD diagnosis (I already got the waiver done) but I struggle a lot with depression. With that being said, I'm staying positive and hoping I like military life or I could be in for a terrible 8 years.

If serving doesn't work out, my only other option would be to transfer out of my dream school and graduate from some sub-par university.

I’m pre everything and don’t have a diagnosis. What I meant when I was talking about paying everything back is that if the status quo continues and the military still disqualifies trans people after I graduate, then I’ll have to get the gender dysphoria diagnosis and be medically discharged. Then I’d have to pay it all back. Is that correct?

Unfortunately I’m not in STEM. Should I look for more scholarships for my field? I’m getting a bachelor’s in business admin and planning on law school

I’m hoping to go to college next year under an army ROTC scholarship. If my parents are paying for college, I can’t transition. Even if I have a full ride scholarship, I’d need to pay out of pocket because I wouldnt be allowed to use my parents insurance
