Has anyone tried Gulf Orchid Sisha?

I checked the notes and they seem like something I would like. I like the smell of sisha so I would love a perfume that gives me that without the smokiness. The price is also affordable. Fragrantica claims it to have an enomous sillage and long lasting.

All of this just seems to good. Checking if anyone had experience with it?

How to study with adhd?

Hi

I am really struggling with studying😭 I am in a med school in Eastern Europe and the system here is not adhd friendly at all. We are given a certain topic list and we can get any topic based on the card we pick on exam day. It is an oral exam so we have to present the topic to the examiner. We also book our own exams and can postpone but have to pass all subjects within the givem exam period.

I struggle starting to study because I struggle doing anything. I dont know how people do it but I tried everythinf recommended and I spend too long on a topic. I can never finish the topic list and at a point my brain just freezes with anxiety and I get too scared to attend the exam and deregister.

I am repeating several academic years. It was more doable when I had no budget and could outsource everything even coffee. I have not attended an exam for 2 years now.

Its exam period now and this will be my last opportunity to continue with med school. I have no degree except high school and my dad has no more finances to fund me for some other degree from scratch.

I tried reaching out everywhere but the regular advise of pomodoro, white noise, library, body doubling sites etc did not help me at all😭

These methods would only work if I can take it slow because I cannot cram all this information in such small amount of time.

I try to cope by distracting myself with other chores until 4 am and cannot even start to study the next day. The most I have done might be 2-3 hours in a day.

What are my options? My parents arent willing to fund an extra year for me to take it slow. I have tried reaching out for help since the last year everywhere but noone could help. This university does not have good mental health support either. I was ignored and just told to "force myself to study early" when I approached them but clearly its not working.

I know long texts are hard for us adhd brains but I am really grateful for those who took the time to read this.

How to cope with oral exams (as a slow learner with ADHD)?

Hi,

I am a medical student and I find it so hard to finish the topic list for the oral exams. I cant seem to start early enough and then my brain freezes when I realise I dont have much time to finish. I also cant just passively read and talk it out loud. I need to write everything down in a colorful way to remember which takes a lot of time so I can barely do 2 topics in a day, 3 on a good day. I am also a slow learner.

Ofcorse as usual I couldnt get myself to start early enough and the damage is done already with exam period next week. I have a lot of subjects. Due to this issue, I have repeated 4 years.

I also find it hard to do chores, set a routine so it becomes really difficult to manage studying and cooking for me. I am so overwhelmed and noone has been able to help me with a solution, even a therapist.

I do not understand how my classmates can finish studying 54 topics in 4 days, while I would take a whole month and that too only if I dont have to cook and I study daily.

I tried to go to the library today and my brain just froze because I have an exam in a few days and I cannot finish all topics. Maybe 20/54.

I did a lot of research to fix this but I couldnt find anything.

I am on 70 mg livizux at the moment. The still find it difficult to start tasks but once I start and I have no anxiety, I could focus well.

Has anyone else experienced this issue with studying? And how did you cope?

Any help is appreciated or I would have to leave med school and stay with my toxic parents. They would only allow me to continue if I pass 6/7 subjects.

Thankyou to those who took the time to read this and reach out!
