Hi Everyone,

When I was 9 I was diagnosed with ADD, at 19 I just stopped talking my medication. I've spent the last 15 years learning how to be me without being medicated.

I returned to college in 2011 and even when I'm doing well enough I feel like I could be doing better. I feel like I could try harder on many areas. I feel like I put hardly any effort into school but holding a 3.3 total GPA. I would like to make honors yet I seem to fall short each time I try to put my best foot forward.

I started only working 16 hours a week on the weekends but I'm doing 26-40 hours now. I'm also taking on 12-16 credit hours at school. Have I taken on too much for my ADD even when I felt like I had a handle on it?

I'm very afraid of going back on medications as they didn't work like they should. They only made me depressed and everyday was like a rollercoaster of highs and lows.
