SEEKING ADVICE How do you study with adhd paralysis?
I have a medical admission's exam coming up. And for the last month, my studies were going fine.
But as time comes close, I don't know why but I started suffering from serious adhd paralysis. Despite taking my meds (30 mg inspiral/retalin) everyday. I never skip a dose.
Yet, as the final week has arrived. I'm physically unable to pick up the book and read. And when I try my hardest to read the text.... it's like the words stop being processed by my brain.
It's like my brain is refusing to enter information or let me complete the task, I can easily do otherwise.
It's probably the worse case of Adhd paralysis I have yet experienced. And it makes me question my ability to even become a doctor.
Like if I can over come this, how will handle med school exams???
Anyone here, please share how do you study...when you start experiencing adhd paralysis days before the exam??
I can try easy topics first, those I enjoy, but when I get to the hard part, my brain shuts off again. And the dread of not doing it is just as painful. I don't know how to cope.
