please, I need help. I can't go back on track even if I badly need to.
I am currently reviewing for boards, 2nd take ko na. if my first attempt was bad, now it's worse.
last time, I was actually somehow super positive, motivated, and put in work (medyo lamang yung tulog tsaka other distractions but still)
now, I really can't. it took me months to finish a 4-hour lecture. best I've done is a week. I'm trying. I swear. executive disfunction is killing me. Eliminating distractions doesn't work as I can go hours on end with just my mind racing and telling me to do stuff... but I really can't. I don't know why.
common denominator between the two tho: I can't "do it sad, do it scared, do it anyway" because I did it once. I tried. and when I looked back on my notes, I can't even remember that I've already "studied" that part.
I honestly gave up trying a month ago for the review part. I told myself I'll catch up in the refresher part since my usual motivation is present already (time pressure. less than 2 months na lang, boards na). but halfway through the first week of the refresher, hindi talaga nagwwork.
please help me. I know I can clutch it this time IF I actually studied even this refresher. my scores on the first attempt shocked me because I swear my efforts were not that much but 2/3 subjects were actually high, inalay ko pa yung isang subject diyan from start to finish. stock knowledge from hs pa 'yan. nahatak lang talaga nung isa pang subject kasi it's really hard and I decided to focus on the subject that I can.
I've only been diagnosed with MDD and Anxiety nung pandemic pa. but upon researching, realizing stuff from childhood to recent experiences, and taking tests online (I know probably not that valid), it's most possibly ADHD. I can't get diagnosed YET (I badly want to for the meds) but so far, I can't because of budget concerns. so I'll take any advice you give. I swear I badly need to get out of this funk.
thank you in advance and stay safe, you guys!
