Joca90 . . . if properly diagnosed . . I hit the right meds the right time . . .and noticed the difference in two days !!! Also – therapists are great . . but a COACH will keep you accountable to get through your academic obligations right now !! You can do it. I found using swimmiers silicone earplugs (that actually I find a wee bit uncomfortable ) cut the noises that distratcted me . . .yet provided enough stimulation that the only ohter thoughts I was having was “these earplugs feel werid. . . but now back to my readings”. I used highlighters and pens in every color under the rainbow. . .

Make sure your therapist understands ADHD. I tihnk I wasted a decade with very nice listeners . . . but no real progress. Now I am going to a psychologist who specializes in anxiety and has experience in ADHD. hwat a massive difference. Don’t be afriad to ask them what their experience, trainsing, and philosophical influsences are concerning ADHD.

BUt it is a struggle – I am just starting Graduate school, now with my new ADHD diagnosis, after sailing through my undergrad degree and diplomas years ago with honors. . .but my life was way simpler then and I could hyperfocus (my classmate called me the Academic Demon). . . but now I have a son , etc. . .

let us know how it is going !

I have asked if the moderators will create a forum for University / Graduate sturdents for support and sharing . ..
