Re: I've got nothing left

Thank you all for all of your support and advice.

I’m not sure if i should take some time off from college or not. My major is Electronics/Computer Engineering Technology and electronics is one of the few things that really captures my interest. I don’t find the course material to be difficult, in fact, i had already taught my self in high school everything that they are teaching me this semester. I just struggle to get my work done efficiently and on time, even if i know the materiel pretty well. My biggest struggle is with math and writing assignments. Writing just doesn’t work for me at all; when i do get something down its generally well written, but it’s rare that i manage to get that far. Math, on the other hand, is hard because i missed all of the basics in school like learning all of those arithmetic tables in grade school and how to do algebra. However, i am picking up things very quickly in my trig class.

Currently my doctor has me take 50mg of Vyvanse once a day. I don’t see any sort of counselor or life coach. My dad has always put a lot of emphasis on organization and has helped me out a lot with that, but i think seeing a counselor will be a big help. I’m going to contact the school’s counseling services today. I think a change in medication would also be a good idea. The current stuff seems to wear off too quickly. Have any of you run into this problem? If so, what has worked best for you? I’m not sure if i should be taking something else in the evening, because the Vyvanse is supposed to be a 24 hour medication. Maybe i need to switch to something that i would take twice a day, one for the morning and one for after noon? What do you think?

Thanks again for all of your replies.
