Looking for some different methods. | ADHD Information

Hi, My name is Chris. Okay, got that out of the way.

I have had trouble with school ever since I started it. It's not really that I had trouble with it, it's just that a good majority of assignments I recieve I either do not do; or I leave them in my backpack, forgetting all about turning it in. I have tried some methods, which go very smoothly for the first few weeks, but when I start getting praise for how well I'm doing, I just stop. It's like once i start to get praise or compliments I feel as if the job is done. From that point on, I slowly continue to drop (grades wise). But then at the end of the year something kicks in, and I make a mad dash to make up work, and get atleast a passing grade.

It's very weird, and it bothers me very much.

I'm also obsessive compulsive (I think that's the right term), right now I'm addicted to playing Starcraft. And usually that comes before anything else I do when I get home. I'm trying so hard to not do it, but it never works. Oh and by the way, all the assignments and/or projects I do get done, I get great grades on, and the quality of the work is prety darn impressive, that makes me even more mad, because no matter how hard I try, I can never seem to do it throughout the whole year.

I really hope I'm not the only person like this out there, and I'm asking for some suggestions/help on how to set my life straight. Thanks in advance everybody.
