Struggling to Finish My Psychology Degree After 10 Years

I’ve been in undergrad for about 10 years trying to get this BS in psychology, but every time I miss one assignment my brain goes: ADHD: Yeah you’re behind now. Can’t do anything until you make it up. Let’s switch majors. GAD and OCD: CRAP! YOU MISSED ONE? MIGHT AS WELL DROP OUT! ASD: The well if you drop the semester, next one will be perfect because now we won’t miss any assignments EVER AGAIN! Mind you I only have 30 credits left to complete. I’m at my wits end 🥲

Is it possible to ask for reasonable accommodations, like more time to complete assignments?

I have. They limited extensions to home assignments and not the weekly forums. And once my brain new I had extensions, it made things worse for me because I couldn’t focus without having a concrete deadline by my instructor. I didn’t even respect my own.

my accommodations office just said lol that’s something you’re going to have to figure out on your own. I told them I had difficulties with executive function and completing assignments so maybe that’s why

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that goes through this every semester since I got into college.

it is so aggravating. I’ve gotten accommodations, tried online classes, accountability partners…nothing works. I wanna just drop out sometimes, but I’ve invested so much money into school I feel like I have to finish.
