Cannabis could be worth a try but bears problems, I grew up with that stuffand altough it brought me problems (certain type of anxiety, anhedonia, alogia; kind of autistic, certain cognitive impairments),

ergo my doom but its also my reset button when things getting to the worst like due to e.g. psychological problems.

 

The ideas flow(though with various quality..) and I also change the perspective on the  things.

 

I found ways to explain me lot of things and change the view perresistently but even if I write an example of a though, You probably wouldnt get what it did to me and plus, it could sound weird.

---------------------------

Ok anyway I try it:

When I was in a School, my buddy feared the bad grades when he was called up, because this implicated to him failure(also of him self) and therefore a bad prognosis for the school.

As he was called up, I just said to him: Well, lets pick up the bad mark. Like go and get You that paper xy

 

This sentence is actually hard to translate as well as to explain the moment but I suggested eveness and this changed his view because he adopted it and approached the bad marks as something naturally like: it is what it is.

This associated fear and unsecureness dissapeared, You changed from a frightened and helpless passanger on a boat which was in a storm, to a captain who´s well aware of the consequences but able to accept it. Also nothing that downs You because You are so incapable & etc. If You are honest to Your self then You should know that: things can happen that impair Your performance but You do the best WITH You settings and circumstances. Won is won, lost is lost. An unexpected war could hinder Your career, so ? it just happens.

---------------------------

 

I dont want to perusande You to smoke solely because it acts different to people (some get just dull) I want to say that theres more in You (e.g. answers) than You think.

Beeing honest and mindful to Your self, could help to change views and get new ideas.

 

Religion was once called: "opium for the masses" by Marx, altough it has also pro´s beside the cons, it depends on the own believeing and it helps to me for some dark nights..

I admire the "fearlessness" of some atheists who desist to believe in an aftelife even when they are faced with the death. One could solely out of desperation begin to believe but they dont. Hats off!

Though its dubious to say: to 1000%, there is no God. He should have proved himself, if he exists..

 

On the other hand: when I was depressed and somehow traumatised (and this lasted 1-2 months !!) I got the though that I just had to trust God. Even when I go in to the fires of hell, God has made the right decision because hes good and knows everything.

 

And the depression was gone ! I felt salvaged because everything was now ok, I relied and trusted everything on Him to 1000%.

There were no pressure on me that I HAVE to do something and be careful about something (which also has stressed me), everything was up to Him.

 

I told You that this might sound weird (Actually, I dont care) and also that You might not understand it, but it worked and I tried hard to relax and calm down in those months and even Mirtazapine or Dope helped just transiently!

I also dont want to perusade You into believing, I just wanted to show ways, possibilities and options or a life-phylosophy.

 

Theres the question: what of Your problems is psychological and affects Your body (psychosomatically) and what is more organic(neurological) ?

You could make a list of what is the priority, so in the case of study: to tackle mostly the ADHD, or the other problems e.g. longing for a happy life.

 

You could study also in a few Years, IF You will get better but thats also a good question, so therefore the priorities and an attempt to balance it.

OneScrewLoose mentioned clonidine but the better alternative is guanfacine. Both similar MOA but guanfacine is less sedating and less side effects.

Also, I sort of think you should shop for a new doctor, you do have control over your treatment. If all the standard treatments have failed and your doctor won't consider trying off label treatments then you need to find someone more understanding of your situation.

So much good advice here. Shopping for a new doctor would be wise. Do your very best on your exams. Study, study, study. This is what all of us must do if we're to achieve anything. On the other hand, I agree with OSL that the idea you must accomplish amazing things in your life, fulfill goals, etc., is very Western. You're under no contract to become anything important in this life.

Also, please consider getting very sweaty and tired and working your body very hard in activities that aren't mental. You need to work your body like it's an animal, because your body is an animal. It's not happy studying all the time, worrying in a dark room. Do something physical with your body that gets you out of your mind. Not so much meditation, but anything very hard on your body. Sprint, run, lift weights, join a team of some kind, volleyball or softball, or do some hot yoga and work your body into a fucking tizzy. It really will help; your brain will release some feel good chemicals that absolutely no drug or supplement can ever approach. Don't say no. Force yourself outside and hike up the steepest mountain you can find. Rock climb. Go bouldering. Hike. Hard. Do it. Now. Stop saying no to all the great advice aimed right at you. Most posts like this get ignored. Be grateful anyone is giving you such helpful advice. Stop fighting the good words and thoughts that all of these helpful and honest posters are carefully crafting out just for you. Thank someone. Smile and get the fuck out of your head, man.
