Take a five minute break from what you’re doing. Take a few breaths and give yourself a pep talk. Buy an organizer, and a notebook. Write what you have to do in the organizer then use the notebook to figure out what time you need to get stuff done. I do this the day before. Always adjust time too. Knitting also helps me focus. I go to things early from 10 to 15 minutes to sit and knit. Talk to your professor and ask if you need extenuation. Take 10 to 15 minute breaks when you get stress out about homework. I like to take a walk, read, knit, write, or do mindless activity.
REPORT ABUSEI’m the only one who says, “What is the worse that can happen.” I am the only one can lose the group in the hunted house/woods and then get scared when I am lost. I mean, there is a man hiding behind a tree!
REPORT ABUSEZoning out did help with one of my finals. I was taking a final and was focused on number two. Asking myself how much does my professor wants to know. The next thing I was doing was thinking about my reading assignment and what I learned. Somehow my when I came out of my zone out I had finished the test in 15 minutes. The panic soon sunk in when I realized I zoned out on my final for 15 minutes knowing full well that I had extended time, but still. I went back to the second question and it seemed good. I found out a few weeks later, I got an 99.5. The professor did tell that I forgot to write an answer for number 10. It was one of the name so many.
My social life it becomes a problem with some friends. Only two know I have ADD, even though I never told them. I had those fun sit downs by them stating that they think I have a problem. One of my friends at the time was taking a psychology class and was sure I had ADD. I then had to tell them, because they were going to call my parents or take me to the consoling office.
Now they make me aware that I am zoning out and will tell me so.
REPORT ABUSEMerry Christmas to all. I am just happy I finished the cable knitted scarf for my Grandma. She is going to be one lucky person. We just lit a fire and now the alarms are going off and one says, “Fire, fire.”
REPORT ABUSEI caught the last ten minutes and wished I could have watched the whole thing.
REPORT ABUSEI have been tired of calling friends, because if I don’t call them no one talks to me. Seeing my brothers have fun with their friends almost every weekend made me feel alone. Until I call someone.
REPORT ABUSEWhen I had two thesis in one essay. This happened a lot if the essay was more then three pages.
REPORT ABUSEI love to write, just not about myself. In college my professors made me write a total of 3 autobiography I freaked out. Why would someone be interested in my life? One of my professors helped as I complained no one cares about reading my life. He was also advisor of improve music club. I had so much fun and grew so much too. He noticed that after the first five minutes I am ready to play. He did help me out, but I panicked through most of the project, after all fight for your degree is one thing. It is another thing to write about your life.
REPORT ABUSEpegs and gailozols,
I have on meds when I was five till the age ten. Since the age of ten I have learned to cope. My parents gave me two choices to pre sue a college degree or to work. Making the choices to persue a college degree was the right choice. Newly graduate and looking for a job, my parents are letting me stay in the house rent free until I am 30. Your son needs to have choices. It is hard, but sometimes we (ADDers) can’t take the hint, unless someone taps us and tells us it is not okay.
Here are some ideas
Set boundaries
help him get use to the real world
Explain to him how far he has come and how far he needs to come
Try job core
have him shadow working people
Have him volunteer
Take him to support meetings (I have never gone)
Make him a list of things he has to do
Have him write what he wants to do
Writing can also turn into a career I am finding out. (I love to write manuscripts that are more like novels. For a course I had to create my own class. This caused great stress, but it was fun. My professor, I chose helped me a lot. He even thinks one day I can publish it, but I have to fix somethings. We plan to work on it this summer.)
Most of the things listed I have done for awhile. A few things I have not done because I did not need to. List helps a lot and having someone close to help along does help.
REPORT ABUSEMy favorite is it is a mood not a disorder. Like, I plan to feel this way.
REPORT ABUSEI changed my major three times when my advisor suggested I try Liberal Studies. At first, it bothered me but it worked out greatly. I got to create and take classes I wanted to take. The only problem was making them fit in with the categories need to graduate. One class was creating my course. Freaked me out, but I like to write misspelling, and grammar mistakes. My professor is going to work with me over the summer to help prepare my manuscript in the future. He said that I was a genus. Can you believe that. My advise is to talk to your advisor and help you out. Also, you can take career test at you career center.
If it helps, I finally have an interview for something I want to do. it has environment, writing, and education.
Best of Luck
REPORT ABUSEWhen I was young fire alarms made me cry. I would even cover my ears and close my eyes. This continued up until fourth grade.
Now it tends to be open boxes and yelling.
