Okay so I might go into much detail on this thread, but I need to get my point across. Now I will put a TL;DR below, but I highly suggest reading the story.
TL;DR: I have missed a good amount of school in general and it seems as if it is getting worse. Help?
What's happening, is that I have missed a good amount of school in general and it seems as if it is getting worse. It all started when I started taking adderall at the beginning of this school year. It was prescribed to me by my doctor so don't worry! Anyways, it made me lose a good amount of weight because I wasn't eating due to loss of appetite (a common symptom of this medicine). I stopped taking it at the start of the second quarter of this school year. After winter break, I started taking it to get my grades back up and keep me focused. During the period that I was off of it, I gained the weight back. (I am generally on the skinny side, so it was bad that I lost about 30 lbs in the matter of 9 weeks.) So once I started taking it again I learned to force-feed which I don't mind that much. I haven't lost any weight since and my grades were fine. About two weeks ago I stopped taking it because it started altering my mood by making me a lot less sassier
I mean I would literally snap at anything. I am speaking in the present time now and my grades aren't doing as well as I would like them to. I have been zoning out in class and in general not being able to focus. My moods have been fine and my weight is fine as well. But the most important thing, school, isn't so well. I have like 5 big assignments that I have procrastinated on and there due dates were yesterday and today. I went to school yesterday but left at about 1:45 to go to my doctor for my ankle (I broke it). The class they are due in starts at 2:00 so I lucked out. Today, I was having a lot of trouble in my cast so my mom agreed to letting me take the day off. I decided it would be a good day to get some work done. I took an adderall around 8:45 AM and I am doing fine. I have managed to stay calm and not lash out for no reason, but I have forgotten to eat. I will do so now. Okay so anyways, I got my projects done and I feel good about that, but I feel terrible because I have missed school. I mean I have skipped maybe 5 days (my mom is super chill and I can talk her into it) and been actually sick about 5 days as well. Today, I did get a lot of work done but I hate the fact I had to miss school to do so. Just about every day that I don't have extra curricular activities on, I come home from school and fall asleep. Lately, I have slept all through the night until I have to wake up for school. This is bad because I used to wake up in the middle of the night, well rested, and I would do homework then. I think this is just because of me growing or whatever and I have started to not fall asleep after school. I need help on what to do because this isn't how I should be living. I forgot to say something important and I am too lazy to find where I should put it so I will say it now... A few times this year, I have stayed home just to do homework that I have not completed mainly due to sleeping all through the night. There is nothing I can do other than to go in late after completing it or just staying home to complete it. This is mainly my fault due to falling asleep after school, but I should be like spreading the work out instead of waiting until the due date to stay home and complete it.
I don't know guys, I just feel like I am living life wrong. If you want me to describe anything else for you to help me better, just ask. I will be on for the rest of today, so just message me. :smile:
Please leave some positive feedback below. Thanks in advance.
