Hello all, I'm new here so I'm rather nervous about posting! LOL!
But anyways, I start university tomorrow and I was diagnosed with ADD when I was 16, however I never took any meds or had psychotherapy. I have always had a bad history of missed deadlines concerning homework and coursework throughout my school life and teachers were usually on my case because of it. My organizational skills are also less than impressive! Very poor if you ask me! I also don't really easily make friends. I've had very few friends, if any, throughout high school and most of the friends I've made never really lasted long. I also have a problem with being assertive when I really need to be, probably because I'm really afraid of people hating me! I know that many ADDers have and can manage college quite effectively without any problems, so I guess I'm just looking for advice for how to manage college with ADD. Because for one thing, I definetley do not want to be missing any deadlines! |

get a planner. put all your dates into it (it can be a paper planner or it can be on your phone or on your computer, etc). The planner is your best friend!

I'm not sure how I'm doing it myself! Good luck with school
I just wanted to post something as the way you describe yourself sound quite a bit like me! Let me just tell you try and be upbeat, think positive and try and get things done early. Like if the deadline is Oct. 1st your should be Aug. 28th

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
