Hello,

Before I start I'd like to mention that I am not formally diagnosed, though I am working on getting a diagnosis and I've suspected that I've had ADHD for many years now. (The symptoms, explanations, and personal experiences match up too well)

I am entering University this fall and to be honest, I'm pretty nervous about it. The good news is that I am majoring and minoring in two things I love and am super interested in pursuing. The bad thing is that I suck at time/assignment management, motivation to get work done/study until the last minute, I neglect personal responsibilities and often leave my room in complete disarray, I procrastinate like there is no tomorrow (or infinite tomorrows?) and I'm scared that my life will fall apart at my own hands once I leave the safety of my home. I am looking for tips, tricks, guides, stories, anything to help prepare me. I mentioned that I pursuing a diagnosis, and if I am formally diagnosed, I will talk to my psychiatrist about medication (not looking for med advice) and counseling/therapy.

So if you have anything that you think might help me, please share it! I appreciate all of your responses!
