I was diagnosed with adhd last year.i feel like its ruining my life.im always late for school,often absent.getting up in time for school is the hardest task of the day.i always forget important things.i cant stand it anymore.what can i do? please?

I am reluctant to accept the label ADHD when diagnosed after the age of 6-7 years of age. There are too many conditions that can mimic ADHD symptoms. I would get a new opinion after a good evaluation. Improvements require a proper diagnosis for proper treatments to work.

It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!
