Struggling with Motivation on ADHD Medication

I meant ADHD meds made my life so much easier.

I am in a similar situation rn. I was diagnosed at age 9, I’m 22 now and I recently restarted my meds last year. It’s ok if it’s a bit overwhelming, it’s ok if you can’t do all the work now. I recommend talking to your school disability office and request for ADHD accommodations, for me I used to have them as a kid, and they helped a lot. You can get a note taker in college, extended time for tests and stuff like that. Also communicate to your professors, I remember when I was off meds I had some professors work with me to get my assignments in. Recently I’ve noticed that when I get my periods my meds stop working. I’m currently in the process with working my psychiatrist and a therapist so I highly recommend to speak to a therapist or if you’re already talking to one make sure you share your concerns. It will get better. When I restarted my meds I ended up getting a 4.0 for the first time. Of course I have other struggles now but ADHD have made my life so much easier.
