Peaceweb it sounds like you are becoming overwhelmed with all the work you have to do and frustrated with yourself because you are not putting those work tasks first. You are not alone, many of us here are the same way. As I've gotten older (I'm 45) I have calmed down some. When I was in college the first time I could not do it- I could never focus. I am back in school now and I am able to take three classes at a time- any more than that and...well it's just not good. I never went on meds or even saw a doctor- at that time I didn't have health insurance. Anyway if I could go back in time and give my younger self some advice it would be this- life is about the journey not the destination- do not feel like you have to go to school full time- I would have been much better off having a balance in my life and taking one class at a time and working. Full time college was just not in the cards for me. You didn't say what you were studying- but it help if the subject is interesting to you- if it's not you might think about changing that. ADD and a boring career don't mix. Good luck~
