^ it's ok to think that. But you are wrong.

Getting put down your whole life because you were "considered" dumb and lazy is never good for ones self esteem.

Listen i'm not asking for handouts (like the school is pushing on me) but the fact that there is something wrong with you that you can't control is an ISSUE. Regardless of what you think.

The issue is I didn't leave it till the last minute. I'd do it 4-5 days before it was due, but I would just look at my laptop screen with a blank page constantly, unable to put my thoughts down on paper and leave it till the last minute. Sometimes the pressure is good. But when you actually set time aside for studying and constantly try to put it off.

Im 25. I'm not a kid. And you know what, if the treatment fucking works for me, and I start to improve vastly, then is it still me being lazy as shit? You know what. fuck you. I want my fucking 12 years back of being beaten for being lazy, failing courses multiple times, and being miserable in life and underachieved. You think I choose to fucking fail at stuff?

This is a real issue, and you can choose not to believe it, but some people legitly have this problem. They are not purposely putting it off, especially when you have no control.

The symptoms are not only in regards to school, but effect work life. There are many successful people that have ADHD and use their ADHD to their advantage. It's like being in the right place at the right time. Most people in hollywood have ADHD, and some of the most successful people out there have ADHD. But when you are not in the right place at the right time and trying to get somewhere, it can be a major road block.

Also I didn't expect so many PM's. If you guys have any more questions feel free to ask me through PM

edit: Might add that ADHD can be genetically and biologically proven, hence why it's considered a Permanent Disability.
