A little thing I posted
Hiya, I'm Lunar!
I'm a 7th grader, and I tend to struggle a lot when it comes to things like Math. I can't focus at all, i'm constantly listening to music too, because I have a certain trigger that goes off with loud chewing, and everyone in middle school is constantly eating food or chewing gum. I've just been diagnosed with ADHD + Pica, and my mother is about to get me tested for autism. I need help focusing on school. Anybody have any suggestions?
Because I am desperate for help D:
I just take a deep breath and believe that you got this. If you believe in God, you can pray to him,he always answers our prayers. It's gonna be okay, alright? If you wanna talk about anything, I'll help you out. I'm in Grade 11,so I can offer a little assistance with a couple of your subjects... I hope

Hello Lunar !
Mathematics can be a complex topic that students struggle with from primary school to college. I know what it feels like. Having ADHD and pica certainly does not make things easier. These triggers also add to the struggle. As a past STEM educator, I suggest that you try new learning strategies such as active recalling and practicing starting with easy problems and increasing difficulty slowly also try to explain concepts to your peers. You got this!
@LunarTheTherian Hi Lunar!😃👋 Thanks for sharing with us. I can totally understand how hard it can be to focus, especially with so many things going on at once. And math can definitely be tough for a lot of people, so you’re not alone in this!💛 I hear you on the chewing noise, it's super frustrating when that happens all around you. Some people find that noise-canceling headphones or listening to music that’s calm and doesn’t have lyrics helps a lot. As for math, sometimes breaking it into smaller parts and practicing that concept for a day or giving yourself little rewards after each section can help make it feel less overwhelming. It’s really great that you’re talking about what’s going on and reaching out. You're doing awesome just by reaching out for it. We all are here for you, and you’ve got this!🙌✨ Sending you best wishes and warm hugs!🤗💖
