Hi, an incoming second year as a scholar freshie. I opt to shift to my dream course sana, compsci, kaso, I think life has other plans. I believe I have undiagnosed ADHD, and it’s been affecting how I study. Excel in homework / tasks, bobo naman sa assessments. Big factor rin na makakalimutin ako, esp when in pressure.

Anyways, I’m failing my math courses, and I don’t think they can be saved. I’m trying to cope by planning to get an IT elective nalang sa 4th year sa current course ko haha.

I know ADHD alone is not the sole reason kung bakit ganito ako, but damn it, it’s a big factor. I’ve tried many methods, such as task simplifying, studying earlier, uni consultations, scheduling, journaling, pero wala talaga e. ATP just trying to get by nalang and survive, and during break, magpapa-diagnose na’ko. But ayun, the deed has been done, and I don’t think I can redeem it.

Feel free to give advice, maybe relatable stories. I don’t mind.

Any students here that have unmedicated ADHD? How do you cope/handle it?

I suspect I have this. I’m a scholar freshie in my uni. It’s been so hard, especially with my executive dysfunction fucking up my grades. I keep telling myself “I’ll get better,” “I just need another chance,” this and that, but whenever I’m faced with an opportunity, i keep blowing it.

Will seek m3d!cal h3lp by the end of this sem, I just need to stay sane and push through until this all ends haha. ATP i’d be grateful if I don’t get any Fs in my courses, I just need to survive this sem.

I’m so confused and doubtful if any of this will ever get better. I always try new methods (i.e, time blocking, cardio, college consultations, chopping up tasks, etc.) but in the end, I always fail. I might lose my scholarship, and I might dropout. I get so depressed thinking about it.

Any tips or advice to handle ADHD?
