I got through my undergrad undiagnosed/ unmedicated doing assignments the night before, hating myself and being super stressed but survived and got a lowish 2.1. Also had a much trickier life then - started with a 5mo baby and escaped an abusive relationship which left my anxiety so heightened that I could barely leave the house and hardly went to any lectures for my 2nd and 3rd year.
Started my masters this year, and I've just failed one of the modules. My essay for another one was even worse than this one, so I've likely failed that too. I've never failed even one essay before.
I'm medicated now, which is helpful at work, but wears off by the evening time when DD goes to bed and I need to study. I just can't focus, and can't stop myself procrastinating, until the essay is due.
I've read that often, people with ADHD reach an educational stage where they just cannot cope, and it's not possible to pass and do assignments at the last minute anymore. Might be college, might be undergrad, might be masters...
I really wanted to get my professional doctorate after this. That's always been my plan, and I always believed I can do it. But I guess this has made me realise that I likely can't.
I switched to part time study a couple of weeks ago, doing it over 2 years instead of one, so hopefully that'll help a bit. But I just wondered if anybody had any positive tales of being able to achieve this level of study whilst having ADHD or another condition which prohibits your learning?
Long shot really. I don't know. Can't stop crying. So gutted.
