This happened to me too. I went to speak to a school doctor, got diagnosed with ADHD, and started taking adderall when I needed to for class.

It’s at least worth a shot. It has been huge for me and many others.

Thanks. I take 50mg Vyvanse daily now. It helps but I still have trouble keeping up with reading. The class I am in now has on average of 200 pages per week.
I also recommend learning to skip the filler words and really get the main points of the text that you’re trying to read.

I really tried to read everything in college, but I just couldn’t, and neither did a lot of my peers. I still learned a ton by learning the main ideas, through internet summaries, through discussions with my friends, and discussions in the classroom.

Don’t be so hard on yourself and continue to learn :)

Good luck!
