Being intelligent with ADHD is a constant reminder of what could have been

I’m currently in my last year of law school. I’ve been diagnosed this past December privately. Have started medication. The first ones I took did not work. The second set have helped so much more. But not with studies. I’ve noticed my mood gotten better, eating habits etc. But I still struggle to stay focus. Like if my profs are talking my mind wanders around.

Initially I thought I should stick to these meds because they’ve improved so much and I’m worried that if I switch all the progress will be lost.

Really am so upset and angry that I never had the right support system from those around me. I am struggling so much with my studies rn.
