Hi Shell
I can identify with a lot of what you said about early experiences probably due to undiagnosed ADHD, I too did OK at school, but fell apart in my first year at university (sophomore, right?)
Good news - I now have a private appointment to see a specialist in the UK who can diagnose adult ADHD and prescribe stimulants. Wish me luck! I feel like I need it at the moment..
Best wishes
LeonardoPS I thought that a university in the US was often called 'school', which seems really bizarre from the UK perspective (school is for kids...) We do have colleges in the UK, they are either less academic type of universities, or even '6th form colleges' (ie age 16-18). That is high school in the US? Yes? No? Now I'm rambling...
> I didn't fall apart (academically) until my sophomore year in college (Should I say university? It's strange that it is common for higher education to be referred to as "college" in the US, whether one attends a university (as I did) or a college. Oops, I am way off topic!).
