ADD/ADHD Poll

[sanantone]

Sanatone why would you put yourself under that pressure? I actually do assignments in my NCU classes prior to enrolling to avoid the terror that schedules can create in me. Most of the classes I take I finish in 4-5 weeks instead of the normal 8 weeks because I enter the class with at least 2 weeks of work already done. The exception was my business research methods course which required constant mentor feedback between assignments. I really don't like the format at USF, a brick and mortar school, because the online class I am taking won't let me work ahead. This creates anxiety as I now have deadlines I only have a few days to complete.

Interestingly enough, I can do small assignments ahead of time and prefer that option, but the current program I'm in won't release discussion questions until the week they're due. They don't want students working ahead. For large projects or papers, I just cannot start them early. Many times I will write two 12-15 page term papers on the same day because I take two courses at a time. Oddly, I tend to get my highest grades when I do my papers at the last minute. When I first started the program, I had the concentration to start some papers early and those got Bs while most of my other papers have gotten As.

Ryoder, you DO NOT have it. Trust me. I couldn't get work done in advance if my hope of heaven depended on it.

Sanatone, sleep apnea sounds interesting as an explanation, and probably valid in many cases. Me, lucky devil, have both sleep apnea and ADD. If you can, get the study done. Sleep apnea affects lungs, heart, brain, and... I forget. Liver? Whatever, it's not just tiring for you and your (non)sleeping partner.

Now that I will be getting decent health insurance at my new job, I'll try to make the effort to go back for a referral. A diagnosis for sleep apnea would be important, but with ADD, not so much. I have no interest in taking any of the ADD medications.
