Jellybean – Seeing a school counselor is a good first step, but you need to talk to your physician about your medications as well as your added stressors of school and family pressures. You may need your medications adjusted. You may also benefit from a good therapist, someone with experience with ADD and young adults. As a Mom of a college-aged daughter with ADD (I’m the “Queen Bee” ADD who “gave” ADD to her ), I’ll tell you that I find I need to step back and have told my daughter that she needs to work with those who will help her, even if the advise and treatment they give or recommend is not what I would choose. She has to live with the consequences, I don’t. Just a thought.
I hope that you situation improves soon. Be kind to yourself, you’re doing a lot, you’re becoming a self-reliant adult, and college at your stage is trying without ADD; with it, you have to go above and beyond to achieve what your fellow, non-ADD students accomplish. Try to be proud of what you have accomplished. Good luck, and know that your adulthood is just beginning, you have time to grow and find your path.
