Hi I'm 16 and think I have ADHD
I'm in the UK and recently did GCSE's where I did alright (I got 3 8s and 4 7s and 2 6s and 1 5) which is around top 15% of population or around an average of A grade
But the thing is I barely studied, for most of my papers I did like 2 hours maybe of work which mostly consisted of reading chatgpt summaries and not doing actual questions or flashcards. I find it extremly hard to start studying and even more to stay focused
And I also didn't have a study schedule and I kept procrastinating.
I said I would start at January and by April I didn't even do more than 4 hours in a week once
I have the symptoms of ADHD especially around school/studying
I'm unable to get diagnosed by the NHS due to long wait times and also my parents won't pay for private
So should I start using ADHD meds from other sources
I'm thinking of starting Ritalin at a regular schedule and avoiding high doses frequently
I want to get atleast 3 As in my A levels (which I think I can achieve as in my subjects I got 8,8,7)
So should I start?
