Every semester, I make plans to study everyday, do all the readings...and it never works out. It doesn't matter how badly I want it, it doesn't matter how hard I try...all my progress is wiped away the moment I turn a blind eye, do what is natural for me, and turn my attention inward...before I know it, HOURS, DAYS, and MONTHS have passed.
I've tried therapy; absolutely no help. I've tried brute force, which worked in high school until I hit a really bad depression. I need to be an acheiver, a person who gets things done in the world. That is the reason why I was born. I hate the person that I am. I hate being trapped in my mind.
I think that this is the result of having untreated ADHD, but there is nothing I can do about it. I can't take stimulants because I have a history of seizure disorder...
Please help.

I am sorry for you.....
you are at such risk of truly hating yourself
your daydreaming has such influence.... maybe if you stopped being angry with that side of yourself you might discover a wonderful new reward...
trying to turn your blue into green?
does not work fighting who we are?
occasionally we are forced to return to ourselves and quickly forgotten is the accidental horror of who we were never meant to be...
sometimes our decisions dump seriously uncomfortable pressure on us...
and I expect you insist on weaving your way through the terrible web of fiddly nasty failure fingers...
I have no advice
I just hope you can manage
