Hmm, I would say the biggest challenge came after I got into university. Self discipline is absolutely essential in university, which is something I never built earlier in my life. I would call myself decently smart, so in my secondary school I never had to put in any effort into studying to get a decent grade, but I can’t rely on that in university. It causes a lot of trouble for me, and I think it was particularly tough since it’s during COVID at that time. I really can’t force myself to do assignments and write papers, I’m always fighting deadlines and at some point it was too much. I crumbled and failed every courses. The other thing is I am really forgetful during conversations, like I can’t remember what me or someone else has said, and this became a issue in my relationships.

I just got diagnosed a couple months ago and I’m still not sure how should I feel about it.
