Since i can remember i never did well at school. It was growing up as a child be in the lowest group for maths in primary school. I realized that i needed to apply myself and study hard to get a good mark. I grew up asking my mum "am i dumb" she said no and it gave me reassurance and motivated me. I am in my final year of university i have two half weeks off to just work. I just cant focus its either i wake early and work then i get a little bit done. I just let time pass me by and loose focus. I don't have the confidence to just try and Finnish the section for example. Can anybody give me some advice? or someone i can talk to about this? Thank you
Have you ever seen a doctor about this? Maybe you need Adderall. I went to my doctor junior year of high school and he prescribed me 20mg of Adderall i would take before school and I could really see the difference. However I stopped taking it because I realized I was growing a tolerance to it and I know uppers can really affect you if you get too hooked.
I thought maybe something besides drugs. When i focus i get a good results but i just ah i dont get it.
Well I would ask if there was something in your life that you think may be distracting you, but since you said it's been happening since you were a kid I'm thinking maybe you have some form of ADD. Read some info on here and see if this sounds like something you suffer from. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attention_deficit_disorder
I think I get what you are saying. When I was in school I just spaced out. And then the horrible mistake of homeschooling (I am not opposed to homeschooling in the slightest. I think it's cool. But, terrible for me specifically). My point is I would just stare. Occasionally I'd realize I was wasting my day and I needed to get things done with less time then necessary and I'd get anxious for a moment and then start spacing out again. I don't know how possible it is to just focus on what you need to focus on. I didn't talk myself into focusing. I found things I wanted to know about and focused through excitement. When there was something I needed to do but didn't like... I pretended to like it and eventually did. It's taken me about eight years to get down and I still lapse about once every two years and do nothing again... I guess, maybe you should find something you enjoy and do that for a while. Appreciate how that feels.
You should only get advice from a doctor. None of us are trained to tell you what is causing you distress. Otherwise you could be given advice that could distress you. If its causing this much trouble, you should go and visit a professional asap.
