Well I have ADD too and have been through some pretty rough times. You will do your best work when stressed. My best advice is to stop looking for outside help, just sit down and start working- Before I give you some pointers do the following:
Write a note to yourself and put it on your wall for tommorrow afternoon to do the following
1) See Doctor on Teusday: it had better be a psychiatrist that treats ADD or ADHD and will recommend testing. Just taking meds is not enough.
2) Promise yourself that you will never let this happen again. (once tommorrow passes, you will likely let this slip out of your mind until next test and so on. Thus make it stick now and make it visible so you are constantly reminded.)
That being said, don't listen to the nay-sayer's- they don't understand what you are going through- if you truly have ADHD-this is classic- and it is classic for non-ADHD's to blame you as "lazy, irresponsible etc" - THEY TOTALLY MISS THE POINT. That is not an excuse, you have to accept this problem and the consequences and work through it. If this is truly your problem, and you bomb all grades - don't worry- proper treatment and accomodations etc will likely see your grades sky rocket- I can tell you from experience.
Also, if you have a legitimate reason- most colleges, graduate schools etc understand and will accept the grade change as evidence that your poor performance was due in fact to a disease. But you have to improve as soon as possible.
So Don't Kill yourself tonight!!!!!!!!! you will get through this.
NOW HERE ARE SOME POINTERS:
1) don't try taking any drugs or meds- they will just give you a bad reaction- especially don't listen to the guy telling you take anything ending in "ine" . They will stimulate your heart- not necessarily your brain. Your adrenaline is the best thing you got going- that's why you will focus.
2) I doubt you will get all subjects done in one night- so finish some classes (i.e. pass biology/p.e., fail alegebra) : if you can truly document the ADHD part, you teacher may let you make it up over the break...
3) Organize what you need to doe for history and biology.
Are you history/bio chapters question and answer or essay type work?
If you have to write essays:
read the main topics (the titles/subject heads)
summarize the main points only (no detail).
For biology- read the inserts/pictures for main points.
To start you essay: write an outline and fill in the facts as simply as possible. Don't try to rewrite your essays- just get it done.
If they are question/answer- simply go straight to the questions and start answering them by looking up in the book.
for the History: simply summarize the points.
for P.E.
seriously, you can write on the internet- so you can write 5 paragraphs. Just write an intro paragraph, choose 3 points you will make (paragraph 1, 2 and 3) and write 3 -4 sentences per paragraph and then summarize what you said in 5. It may pass at the least.
Good luck.

It can be done, but focus will be the key. If you all ready have a grasp on the material then a quick read is all you will need. The essay should just be banged out in one sitting and the short stories just need to be broken down into their key elements. Like the who, what, when, how, and why. The algebra cannot be done in this fashion, unless you know the math concepts at hand. The goal is not to a great job because that will take time you do not have, but to finish everything. 5 paragraph essay should take 45 minutes to 1 hour. Eight chapters need to be read and understood partially in 4 hours, which gives you two hours for the short stories and two hours for the math. I'm hoping you are better in English than you are in the other subjects.
Never do this again. I did this in high school and skated away with straight A's. The difficulty you will have is that you will need to break. You can break as long as you are on schedule for finishing the tasks. Good Luck.

That's about 30 topics/essays!!
If you have 10 hours.... you'll need to do about 3 topic in 1 hour!! I hope you get it done quick!!
Do some swift-reading in your textbooks. I'd do essays first because it'll take a little but more time in ideas and stuff. Lay ALL your work in front of you (maybe on a table, floor, or bed) and you'll see breifly what you'll need to finish. Use the internet 24/7 if you need any help. Hope you do OK.

If you have ADHD, scented oils and lavender are going to do nothing for you.... people diagnosed with ADHD "calm down" by ingesting stimulants... Ritalin, adderall, etc. are all stimulants.
"Drugs" that end with -ine are stimulants. Therefore caffeine (soda or coffee), nicotine (cigarettes), and ephedrine (medicine that is available at gas stations for asthma and bronchial illness) could be used.
Although using these drugs may get you through the night, I would not suggest using these items on a long term basis; each drug I have listed is an addictive substance... you should only consider using these drugs in extreme emergencies to avoid an addiction.
You may also consider using ginseng and ginkgo Biloba (often found in various herbal and/or energy drinks).
Even if these drugs keep you awake, your anxiety levels might be counterproductive.... Good luck!

2 months?! First off, you should haven't waited this long to to all of it at once! The best thing, drink tons of energy drinks and anything with caffeine in it and hope for the best.
Next time, don't wait till the last minute to do it all!

Don't even try to do it, you won't be able to. You should've at least done some of it during the 2 month period...Sorry, but you probably failed, be more responsible next time.

Easy, after you fail this semester, don't put it all off to the last second when you re-take it.
it's a harsh reality of life: you get what you ask for. by not doing the homework, you asked to fail. Your teacher will graciously give you what you asked for.
