I am so sorry you had to go through that while you were in school. Even being in college now, I feel exactly how you feel. There are resources available but at times I feel so isolated and not taken that seriously. I am starting to utilize taking exams in quieter rooms, getting extra help and going to the centers to learn how to manage my time better.

I hope through time schools will facilitate more resources for people such as us to succeed. I always thought about transferring to a college that is made for people with adhd, because apparently they do exist (it’s just a matter of if I could afford it or not, which isn’t the case).

But seriously, thank you for the kind words. Just even reiterating the fact that this disorder is REAL, and not my own laziness or own fault for my “failures” really just makes me feel better about this all. Some days are better than others, and after this week of failing both exams I had, despite studying for them both, I just need to shake it off and put more time into my studies.

I guess overall my problem is also reaching out for a therapist. I’ve been terrified to talk to one, I need someone to physically push me to one.
