Girls with ADHD, I missed yet another assignment. So much overdue, where do i even start. Fam will yell at me if i tell them, friends leave it at “girl samee”. I’d seriously appreciate good tips or advice, I’m drowning in this mess

i would reach out to your professors and communicate first. then i would look at your rest of the term and missing assignments and make a list of EVERYTHING with due dates. prioritize based on percentage of grade, due date (do things due in the near future before doing missing assignments), etc. break any larger projects into smaller tasks that can be done in a single chunk of time. allow yourself rewards after getting work done. i do my best work at the campus library bc i find a busy quiet (1)

oh wait this is my real unhinged advice i also play what does the fox say or we like to party on repeat and dont let myself turn it off until ive finished assignments when i dont want to start them bc then i have to finish it because i hate the song. anything annoying will work for this

spot to work because then i feel like i have to get work done. make a schedule and stick to it even if youre not perfect i go to the library every weekday evening even if i really dont want to and reward myself for getting anything done at all on nights when i struggle. i also feel rewarded making a list and physically checking them off the list. good luck girlie you got this!!

write your shit down!! my favorite thing is sticky notes bc i love crossing things off a list! find what works for you! def talk with your professors about maybe how to handle their work load or how to improve in general (they love when you ask how to improve and do good in their class, it shows you’re at least trying) be patient with yourself! you’re doing what you can considering adhd can be difficult to work with! acknowledge it and don’t judge yourself for it, just work on it!
