i think you need to have a meeting with your school counselor. they will be able to give you time and stress management techniques. your doctor may be able to tell you about ways to have more energy, such as a change in diet or beginning a vitamin regimine.

Okay, let's look at the two things here-stress, and possible ADD. First, stress can have an effect on your memory, when you have what seems like all these worries, concerns, etc. Is there a friend, or a counselor you could see about sitting down and talking with? Having a heavy load in college, and working a lot, when do you take some time for yourself to truly rest? Yes, at least 8 hours of sleep, and then a few hours once a week or once every two weeks, where you just kick back, allow yourself to relax for a few hours-go out to lunch with a friend, see a funny movie, take time to read a good book for pleasure, and not for a class. Could you be feeling depressed? Procrastinating on doing your homework--is there a way you could just set a certain amount of time each day on what you need to study for the next day, or even for a project due a week or two later-that you get the project done in bits and pieces, say, 15-30 min. at a time of studying? Are you eating good, healthy, nutritious meals and snacks? An apple, orange, banana (good for potassium), etc.? Are you eating breakfast? It is true to be the most important meal of the day-it helps set your basil metabolism for the day. And, breakfast does not have to be breakfast food-it can be a burger, or a cold piece of pizza, etc. Protein, and complex carbs are long lasting food sources. If needed, is there a way you could cut back some on your class load? Or work hours? Okay--now to deal with ADD. That can cause day dreaming. Limiting ability to focus. Yet that would truly need to be tested, by a counslelor, etc. By the way, you are not really slow, nor are you in any way, shape or form, stupid. When you have such a hectic, busy schedule as you do, and you are probably more tired than you may realize at times. May I make a request? Would you please strongly consider making an appt. with your doctor, for a physical if you can, or at least blood work-to see how you are doing physically? I would request if you can, the physical. And please, when you meet with your doctor, let him/her know what your schedule is like, how you've been feeling, etc. That will help the doctor try to figure out what is going on. I wish you the best. Take care.

you could possibly be add oi would think so but yea....
sensei beielve all pilsl aside from pain pills are BS i would do theese natural things to help cure it...
Take thingso ne a time.. list every thing you have to do on a list.. cover up all over them up with another sheet of paper except for one and do it and when you get done with cross it out and move the paper down... dont get stressed over things at your work... take it instride stress leads to do bad habitsl ike eating or ranting for hours either to people or in your head which causes you waste more time...
in short dont get stressed and stake thigns in stride and one at a tiime...

You are very tired. You need to lighten your load where you can. Stress and fatigue will do exactly what you are describing. Make notes or lists to help you remember. Give yourself time to rest.
Get sleep, eat right and be very careful driving.

The problem is your heart and soul is not at peace .If you see yourself from diffrent aspect like seeing those people who are in the same boat or discovering the purpose of your existance in this world.
Let me share my life experience which might help you to undestand:
I am suffering from some ailment which paralyses my body whenever I want to pray. I get actually get bed ridden and for all medical experts my ailment is a mystry sometimes my ailment last for for three day or for week ,before this ailment I was healthy but ignorant about religon and was selfcenterd I must say materials and love was only the motive of my life.
when I lost my love by his deception or his own hatered I asked Allah to bestow me a real life partner who Allah thinks is best for me . My prayer got accepted by Allah and I got married to a wonderful caring understanding every quality which a women desires in her partner after my marriage.
there was another blow I had a divorced sister in law she hated me and our marriage got jealous with love and support which I got from my husband and did some witchcraft on me I asked Allah by opening Quran" what is the pupose of my life where I was like good for nothing no prayers unable to work or do any thing " I got immediate reply from Quran that "Allah din't created atom without purpose and every soul is appointed for diffrent work " after this convincing reply from almighty Allah I started reading Quran in my own language I discoverd that Allah orderd simple life with no problems but human created all this by his or her own desires and greed Wish I knew Quran since I was born . because it sooths my soul and gives me strength to do good deeds . By the grace of Allah Quran thaught How to be good daughter, wife and mother, neighbour or citizen . Now I only Love Allah and Love others for the sake of Allah .Allah created everything for us to put us on trial to make us eligible for heaven or hell .May Allah always bestow His mercy on us Amen.
Read and understand Quran You will be answerd. Godwillingly

Sounds like you are just overloaded. Make it through this semester and slow it down this summer. No summer school, if you can avoid it and just relax! I don't think it's ADD, just lots on your plate at this time!
You Go! Handle your bizness!
