college student with adhd | ADHD Information

Share

hello, so i am currently supposed to be studying for my test tommorrow morning, but i found this message board instead.  now, i cannot get back on task (story of my life).   here is my thing, i have been having a really difficult time in school (SUPRISE!) and it is starting to get to me again.  I am so unorganized and so easilly distracted, and college is just not made for people like me. 

 I was in a psyc class the other night, and we were talking about adhd, and the professor said that only 20% of people with ADHD go to college, while only 5% graduate.  Trust me, i know why.  I felt a little better through, knowing I was not the only one who struggles. Sometimes I feel like the only one here that cant get it together. Oh, since i heard that statistic, i have now decided that i HAVE to graduate! 

 I am not ...   what was i thinking....  um.... (2 minutes later)oh yea, i am not on meds (and cant go on them) becasue i abused drugs for a long time, and am now clean.  I tried staterra, but i didnt like how it made me feel. 

can anyone relate?
