the great thing about being an adult though is that you dont have to deal with adults treating you like a child anymore. tell your mom that's she's wrong. find a new doctor that will take you seriously.
Don't worry about it. It looks like you're old enough to make that decision yourself. ADHD exists in adults- some just don't need drugs as much after college because they've established a routine. Do what you need to do for yourself regardless of what she thinks. Have a good night too! x
:) just talked to my mom about the ADHD thing and she thinks that it doesn't even exist in adults and why would I bring it up all of the sudden and that my pediatrician probably said to think about it because they probably think I have a drug problem. And she's (my mom) telling me that I need to just focus and put more effort into things. And herein lies the problem with being an adult is that you are responsible for yourself, doesn't matter what you have or feel like.
Sorry I'm venting. I'm just kind of annoyed and super stressed! And I will stop!! Hope you all have lovely nights. I guess main forums are alright after all.
I hate that, that you need to have bad grades as part of proof. I've always been a C student. but i think attention goes past just school. It's in everyday life, our attention is everywhere. Not to mention that you also have to be impulsive and disorganized and frequent mood swings and all of that other jazz. Just "bad grades" is the reason why SO many kids now are just getting prescribed ADD/ADHD meds without so much as a peek into their overall behavior.
Yeah we have free counseling. I'm a psychology major, which is sort of ironic because they stress the use of free counseling, but yeah I just haven't summed up the courage yet to go.
i was diagnosed in 3rd grade and taken off in 4th grade and then put back on 3 yrs ago. it was e-z for me but i had bad grades to prove ADD was the issue, not sure if thats the case for anyone else
I totally get it. I got through undergrad miraculously, but at a higher level it's harder to get away with. Feel free to message me so we can talk. It's so hard to feel guilty about something you can't control
you should look into services offered by the school. my school has a mental health center, and a lot of it is covered just by tuition, which is pretty nice.
were they hot girls with big and nice curves? because that's not anxeity that's just something every straight male goes through during their thirsty years
Ariel and Evol, EXACTLY. I think the worst thing right now is that I'm in actual college, and have to actually be responsible for myself and I'm have all of this unnecessary stress because I can't talk to my professors about missing assignments or extra credit work or anything. It terrifies me, and it's even worse since these are authority figures, which i always, ALWAYS, tear up in front of. Full on like, they know I'm about to f*cking bawl my eyes out. And i know it's entirely my fault, which just makes me even more self-deprecating, sad, and lost.
