Hi ya’ll im sure u read my last post on my problem with not being able to wake up and finish homework on time without deadlines, classes etc, you can find it in my profile. Most people suggested that i have ADHD or somethng else. But i cant get diagnosed now. What can I do to manufacture a sense of urgency or excitement for the mean time?


Thnx and sorry for talking too much

hey sorry i dont have much advice, but reading this resonated so much with me. i’m dealing with those same exact struggles and no one around me seemed to understand or just thought i was lazy or just didn’t have goals when that couldn’t be further from the truth. i’m glad i’m not alone! i wish you luck 🍀

That’s ok, its so hard and i support u on this 😔 I got told to keep trying or “no excuses” When i really cant. One thing that kinda helped is that u make a deal w someone and tell them if u dont finish ur assignment or number of hours in date X u will pay them or do something uncomfortable as punishment and get snacks or video games as a reward, this will make u scared thus increasing adrenaline.


Study buddies who study w u in the same room and time is what helped the most, they keep u accountable bc they can see that ur distracted and not finishing anything, one of my friends has ADHD and he did his HW I also got much done with him. It sounds like i dont need advice lol but i do cuz i have depression & the adrenaline thing didnt help as much as before or the meds screwed me up
