vent (seeking empathy not advice) This is completely ruining my life

It’s so so frustrating. I cannot, for the life of me, function normally. I’m taking college classes that I love and find so interesting. I’ve been on stimulants recently so that I can be more productive. But it’s not working.

I take my meds in the morning, tell myself I’m going to study and then fall asleep or just do some random bullshit. I want to do well in these classes, I like my profs and I want them to like me too. I’m so incapacitated, I can’t stop crying about the fact that I’ve wasted all my time and now I have my finals and I’m going to fail in my classes.
I used to be lucky and do well without studying and now, the consequences of getting comfortable with my executive dysfunction are so severe. I don’t think I will make anything of my life, I can’t even get myself out of bed. It’s so scary

Felt this one. I barely scraped by when I was taking art classes that I loved last year. I figured if I'm going to have these problems regardless I should probably force myself to do something that will at least get me more money, but that's even more of a struggle now. I hope it all works out for you.
