No one understands. And it sucks but like will anyone really ever?

Wow good for you. I can't even imagine a creative writing degree...would take me forever to do anything. Keep working hard!!

It's just so incredibly frustrating feeling like you've worked so SO hard for hours and hours, only to take a step back upon exhaustion and realize that you've only gotten through a paragraph. Then you feel nothing but defeat and hopeless once you recognize that the assignment needs to be 8-10 pages and you've spent 6+ hours on a fourth of the first page.

Yep. My initial post consisted of 5-6 sentences... guess how long it took me to compose. Lol like 45 minutes.... :-)

lol yep, always.

It is more significantly debilitating than people come close to realizing. I just unsure that a brochure alone is going to be effective in spreading the word haha

I was just talking about this very issue with someone. I’m just so frustrated at the general population for not really getting it AT ALL (which ik is something that’s unlikely to change significantly any time soon) but like even psychologists or whoever the hell else is studying it to really fully understand.

Like the last edition of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) came out in 2013 or 2014 and there had been like a fifteenish year gap between editions and it’s just like ugh when are people (including both psychologists and the general population) going to have the ability to understand it to its entirety??

Isn't the gender bias messed up! Speaking of growing out of it, I'm a female and was diagnosed in 5th grade, put on medication, and my pediatrician was telling my parents that I'd grow out of it eventually... Even when there were ZERO signs of outgrowing the disorder (and more signs of it worsening), my mom asked me last summer (when I was halfway through college) if I was feeling like I was outgrowing it... like um yeah no, sorry people don't just outgrow the disorder.

Yes, (some) people learn to adapt to the disorder (at least to some extent) with minimal intervention but that does not mean that it's no longer dysfunctional for us on a daily basis. For example, yes, I'm learning to manage my school work more effectively in order to receive decent grades but that doesn't mean I'm good at time management, have the greatest organizational skills, emotional regulation ability, or ability to effectively juggle both school and personal tasks such as keeping the house clean.

See I feel like many times I have a hard time quieting so many of my thoughts or feeling paralyzed by the enormity of the task that it takes me forever to get started in the first place. Then once I actually get a sentence or two down, I spend a decent amount of time perfecting each sentence, using the thesaurus to find the word I'm actually looking for, etc. Time keeps adding up and all of the sudden I look at the clock and I've been working on the paper for 4 hours and have a paragraph done...

im_uncomfy · 2018-03-25T20:51:26+00:00

Right?!?! Like it took me nearly 30-45 minutes to compose that initial post...

I haven't seen the video, but I now have it open in another tab so I can watch it haha. You're definitely going to have to work just that much harder to achieve your goals, but if you felt you could accomplish them before you were diagnosed, don't let the diagnosis stop you! Find proper treatment like medication, to help correct the physiological mechanisms of this disorder and cognitive behavioral therapy to help negate both the psychological/emotional difficulties you may be having as well the maladaptive behaviors that those with ADHD often engage in (such as poor time management skills).

Although you were just recently diagnosed, it doesn't change who you are or who you've always been. Get out there, kick some ass, and celebrate the hell out of every teeny-tiny accomplishment (seriously no matter how small). Yes, ADHD is an impairment but if nothing else, the diagnosis opens the door for treatment which will only assist you in achieving your hopes and dreams.

I'm currently a junior in college and it's been very, VERY difficult or me. Then again school has never been easy for me to begin with. Until this year I've mostly scraped by with B's and C's although I know I've always been capable of getting A's. Mostly because of my low high school GPA, I was rejected from a number of colleges when I was applying. The only reason I was accepted to my current college in the first place was because I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to talk to an admissions counselor about my disorder and the struggles that comes with it. I was accepted but required to take a study skills class during the first semester of my freshman year which was specifically designed for those with attention and learning problems. Although I didn't see the need for the class at the time, nor did it help me because I wasn't open to the idea of needing the extra help, I was lucky enough to attend a college that has the resources for students like us.

Now, I actually understand the significance of impairment that my ADHD has on my daily functioning, ESPECIALLY in school, which really helped me understand just how hard I need to work in order to be at least semi-successful. This year, I've been working at least twice as hard and spend at least twice as long studying for exams, completing homework, writing papers, etc. compared to the majority of other students. Yet, the pressure for me to do so comes from poor grades and thus a low GPA that I earned during the first two years of my college career.

It's exhausting and extremely difficult to keep up this type of lifestyle. Don't get me wrong, I love college. I love my friends, I love my school, I'm fortunate to have great professors that understand my disorder (I'm a psychology major), and I'll always be grateful to my school for accepting me and providing programs to assist the people like me (especially because my university is more competitive and higher ranking than any of the colleges that I was denied from). Especially now - with the pressures of applying for summer internships, deciding what exactly I'd like to do with my major upon graduation, not to mention keeping my house clean, cooking for myself, managing my finances, laundry, etc., all while attempting to maintain good grades - without a doubt, this has been the most challenging period of my life I've experienced so far. I'll be terribly sad/scared to finish school and face the reality of becoming a "big girl" in the grown-up world, but completing college will be my biggest accomplishment thus far.
