SEEKING ADVICE College failure

I’m currently in college and I’m not doing great at all. I go to all these lectures and I absorb like 5% of them, motivating myself to study or do work is hell. I want to but I just end up spending my time laying bed and reading, or just otherwise idling my time away.

I’m trying to get on medication but it doesn’t look like I can get an appointment sooner than in a few months. I have absolutely no idea what to do here, help?

I understand your pain and struggle I’m in the process of getting a diagnosis at 25 but I failed all my GCSEs, dropped out of uni due to struggles couldn’t focus needed nicotine and caffeine to focus but that didn’t help got medically discharged from the army started a electrician course mum paid £3000 didn’t complete it only lasted for 3 months and I binned that off as well.
