How do I succeed in lectures with ADHD? I literally can't sit still and listen, I constantly zone out. It's even worse now that school is online and I had to drop out. I'm trying to do some studying on my own time, but I can't stay focused during lectures or while reading books.

this is when you give up on college and try something else.

Talk with your psychiatrist. Get prescribed meds that alleviate ADHD symptoms.

Like what? Flip burgers until retirement? I like math and computers, I'm quite good at it. I just have a hard time learning and finishing tasks.

I've found that playing around with concepts in my head and challenging my understanding by asking myself questions helps me stay focused on the material. I also zone out very easily, especially when i find the material uninteresting. In that case, i try to think of interesting cases, applications, implications etc. of the course content to keep myself engaged. At worst, I get carried off, but at least while thinking about lecture content.

Oh and also, try breaking up hw and other tasks into really short pieces and get started early, doing a piece every so often. If you cram its really easy to get burned out and reach the point where its painful to continue working, been there many times. Doing things in small steps helps you get those small victories along the way, might help for motivation

I believe that anybody with ADHD can pay attention to anything they're interested in you just don't fucking care about the lectures you sit. Hurry up drop out and do something else with your life before you end up living it, and regretting it

I got this co-worker with severe ADHD he's a kid in high school can't pay attention to Jackson at her job because he really doesn't fucking care about it. I can tell you he cares about his phone cares about Tik Tok he cares about romping on other people's vehicles.
Anon you just got to find something that you find redeeming and fulfilling and I think in this modern world is kind of hard to do that especially when they Corral so many kids to college.

I like math and science, I can spend hours focused on trying to solve a problem. I just struggle to learn it when I have to sit there and take in information passively.

I have ADHD and I zone out constantly in class, but it has never been a problem for me, because I learn most of the material through reading. Just find a way to learn the material on your own. You should be able to if you really enjoy the subject.

That's not really a good strategy because I have to waste time in class and spend more time reading later. This is indeed how I went through some courses but generally I can barely read. I've tried to make it a hobby for like a year. On rare occasions I can get really focused while reading, but this rarely happens.

I once went a month or two eating barely any sugar. Doesn't make any difference.
