I am 35 and a college student. I wasn't diagnosed with ADHD until last semester. I take meds for it but they aren't working. The things I notice are when people are coming and going during class I have a hard time staying focused. Like today in my business communications class we were doing our speeches and I was trying to listen to the speaker and we had people coming and going and I had a really hard time listening. Also when there are things going on out in the hall I get distracted very easily.
I am not reading as much for fun lately because I can't do it.
I talk out loud in class I just blurt out what my response is to what the instructor is saying. Sometimes its accepted but not always.
I am meeting with the nurse practioner next week to see if we can change my meds to help with these problems. I want to do well this semester and can see it going downhill very quickly.
