A lot of great suggestions already.

2 things to add.

1. Try analizing everything else that’s changed (residence, diet, exercise, social/liesure activity, proximity of familial support). Any of these changes can cause extra stress on an already stressful situation.

2. Was your ADHD controlled previously with just medication? Or did you also do any behavioural/cognitive therapy to learn organisation, and study skills. I’ve found a lot of people rely on medication when they have the support and then when the support’s gone and they have to fend for themselves, they get overwhelmed.

Its not too late to train yourself (though I think it gets harder as you get older). Definitely look for school based support system, and if there aren’t any in place look for someone outside the school.

Hang in there (insert cute picture of kitten hanging from a branch here).
