Hey! just recently went to my psycologist, and i found alot of new things with me! ofc i had some things in background why it was so hard in school and social life and other things. but i found out that i was diagnosed with auditory memeory issue when i was 4 (and my parents never said anything to me when i was older). but that diagnose can also be a misdiagnose off add, which the test was not for. so ye, found out alot of my history and my current problems last couple of months, and got diagnosed with add well got kicked out of uni last year, had no motivation at all, and it was pain reading. so after some months, i went to psycologist about depression and fucos issue, and ye, pretty sure i have ADD with some languge diffuclitys, but not auditory memeoryproblem. wanted to killmyself so many times, and motivation for anything was just ass. and i guess it will take some time to fix it. do you have any tips what helped you, and how you find passion in school or job? :) thank you!

This is spot on. Also accept that you will not be immediately successful at either devising new habits and behaviors, nor at executing them. Stick with it. The bonus of the meds is that you CAN actually think of, and build up, the good habits now; but it takes practice. Don’t beat yourself up if you backslide either. Just keep at it.
thank you! yee, my whole life been a mess, i just foguht i was weird, or a bit worse on social and school then others, but seems like add gave me depression, bad sleep, and hopeless
I was in the same boat, my friend. I know exactly how you feel. If it helps, I am now killing it at life after a year and a half on meds. I wasted the first 6 months smoking weed though, which for me negates almost all the good effects of the adderall.
haha, yee, lets see how my new life is, its been a joke up untill now :P
I’m rooting for you, brother
