I don't believe that it's possible for someone with severe ADHD to graduate college
Maybe I have more severe problems than just ADHD, but no medication or therapy seems to be helping with school. Neither does any amount of making the same mistakes.
I'm in my second try at college at age 25, and I'm not doing anything better. I start skipping class just because I don't want to go because it's boring, and then I get behind and don't want to go back for that reason. I've skipped one class for three weeks. I read a lot of people on here say that last minute panic helps them push through under severe pressure and get work done, but I don't think that's worked on me since I was 18. I feel literally nothing when academic deadlines pass.
I'm not depressed, I just don't care about school at all. But I logically recognize how important a degree is to my quality of life and how much harder it will be without one. I also recognize the continuing disappointment I cause my parents.
At this point, my question is not how can I do better in school. My question is how can I even learn to care about school? How can I learn to care about anything I don't immediately want to do?
I don't ever do anything I don't want to do.
