30 y/o m, studied at a brick and mortar uni whilst living in halls, but dropped out in my early twenties.
I know it's not good to self-diagnose but fairly certain I have ADHD and plan to see a GP soon.
Like Marion, I did ok in school so I think it went largely unnoticed. It's only in the past couple years I have begun to realise how certain behaviours I (and others in my life) have accepted as just being part of my personality, may actually be indicative of ADHD.
Constantly late (extremely poor sense of time), starting multiple tasks all at once (and jumping from task to task), inability to focus on things I have little or no interest in, overthinking and difficulty organising thoughts - the list goes on.
I started studying on a distance learning basis a couple years ago, and I find this to be much more manageable. Definitely something to consider for those who either have ADHD, or like me, suspect they may have it. Good luck!
i really appreciate Marion for sharing her personal experience! it's very validating and relieving to hear that these symptoms of being overwhelmed by tasks that require executive functioning skills are caused by adhd.
I'm finally starting college at 28 years old now and having only been diagnosed with ADHD at 26. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Made me feel like I wasn't alone : )
Wow! Great video. Starting my BA in October as a 40 year old! I was diagnosed approximately at 32 years old. Approved for DSA, looking online as I’m feeling like it’s too big for me to achieve; I guess for inspiration/encouragement. You should be proud, I could relate to much of what you were going through as I’m a business owner and constantly procrastinate and leave things until the last minute. I can read for hours and not take in a thing. I will use many of your coping mechanisms. Thank you so much. Nice one ☝️
Thank you for making this video.
