I got diagnosed with adhd about 2 months ago. I’m 20, in my third year of college and I struggle a lot with time management and completing tasks. I got academically dismissed twice from college because my gpa got too low. If I get dismissed one more time then that would be an automatic permanent dismissal and I wouldn’t be able to come back to school. I recently started Adderall this semester and my grades are the best they’ve ever been but at the same time I have anxiety about failing now because I know I’d get permanently kicked out if that happened. I always feel pressured to only study and do work now and I just don’t do anything else. How were you able to cope? Did you have to give one up? I don’t understand how people go out so much and still have a 4.0. Lately that I’ve been focused on school I still feel so overwhelmed from being all in. I understand that as a 20 year old I am an adult and I am responsible for my actions. It’s easy for people to say it’s all about balance but I want realistic advice from someone that struggles or has struggled with adhd and academics too and understands that following a routine is near impossible with adhd. Right now I don’t have a routine but I do most of my work on two or three days in a week that I take Adderall. I don’t like to use it more than that because im paranoid about getting addicted and that’s not even a problem I want to have to face in life. What were things like for you and how did you work through your academics and social life and resting in college?
