So for context I am (33m) was talking to my mom a couple of weeks ago about how it is difficult for me to focus and out nowhere she said "That's what happens when you have ADD." And I laughed for a little bit then she said she was serious. Mind you I was diagnosed as a child and she never told me. She thought I knew because I was at the appointment as a child. I had to explain that I was a child and probably didn't know what was going on. I also had a ton of medical issues as a kid so going to the doctor's all the time was normal for me. It all started to click about why things have been difficult for me with how I am. I spoke to my therapist about it and he informed me of the reclassification of it now being ADHD. I started to read up on it and have learned a lot. But my mom refuses to believe that it is ADHD she just thinks ADHD is for hyper people. Even with me showing her proof from articles and everything. Now that I know, I am trying to take steps to help myself but it is difficult. I Have 10 assignments due by tonight and I have 6 done so far. I feel like crying because I have been at this since about 9AM and it is Currently 11PM. My assignments are all due by 11:59. I try my best to spread the assignments and reading apart but even with that is difficult especially with me needing to work. I think I may need to go on medication but I don't even know how to approach it. Any tips/advice would be great. I am trying my best but honestly feel like crying.
