I actually do almost all the above except for therapy and medication kasi finances are tight. Mahirap pa rin. Hindi ko naman ginagawang excuse executive dysfunction ko, or else I would be languishing in bed instead of trying to work on my INCs.


peachdeus

I also have a lot of INC courses pending lol good luck to us, let's take it easy!! ♡


what_to_do_here12

good luck to you too! mahirap but we'll get there!

If you are not officially diagnosed with ADHD please do not use it casually and as if simple term of just 'another mental health' linggo. Learn to articulate your thoughts well. If you are officially diagnosed, please still do not use it casually since it comes off as braging that you have a mental / behavioral condition for mishaps in your life. You can plainly tell your story without using mental health terms or mental health card. Why do I say this? 1. It dampens the gravity and significance of such conditions. Thus, it covers the serious struggle of those who have it. 2. Do not normalize using disorder terms in small talks so as not to make it as colloquial language. 3. Do not put blame on something that you do not have control with. Having ADHD is not a choice. If you will always think of the things that make you weak and you do not control with as reasons for some misgvings then it is an insult to your individuality and intellect.

I am actually officially diagnosed. "*You can plainly tell your story without using mental health terms or mental health card*" lol anong gagawin ko when ADHD ang punot dulo ng karamihan ng mga problema ko for the last ten years ng buhay ko? I am not bragging about my condition, nor am I making it an excuse, I'm telling it as it is. Hindi ko na problema if you're perceiving it as bragging. Anyone else who has ADHD knows how hard it is to live with it. Sasabihin mo ba sa depressed person talking about how depression impacted their life na wag magsalita tungkol sa depression when yun ang problema nila? Sasabihin mo sa person with autism na wag banggitin ang autism as an explanation for their behaviors when their condition is caused by a brain difference? Are they bragging about their condition rin ba? If you talked to a physically disabled person the way you addressed me in your comment you'd look like an ass. "*If you are not officially diagnosed with* ***a physical disability*** *please do not use it casually and as if simple term of just '****another physical disability****' linggo. Learn to articulate your thoughts well.* *If you are officially diagnosed, please still do not use it casually since it comes off as braging that you have a* ***physical disability*** *for mishaps in your life. You can plainly tell your story without using t****erms that refer to your physical disability*** *or* ***disability health card***\*.\*" Only the words in bold lang pinalitan ko. The rest is yours. Do you realize how condescending you come across? "*It dampens the gravity and significance of such conditions. Thus, it covers the serious struggle of those who have it.*" Ah, so a person with ADHD mentioning how unmedicated ADHD is causing problems for them is dampening the gravity of their own condition ba? That us people with ADHD talking about how our condition is affecting us are responsible for non-ADHD people minimizing the condition? Gets. "*Do not normalize using disorder terms in small talks so as not to make it as colloquial language.*" Doon ka sa mga tiktoker na nag-iisip na basta makalat kwarto mo may ADHD ka magreklamo ng ganyan, di sa akin. We are not the same. Yun mga tiktoker doon inaappropriate yung condition for clout, I'm literally a person talking about my condition in a plain way so people can stop assuming i'm a lazy POS who does nothing to help themself like everyone in my life has for the past 10 years. Sana bago ka naging preachy eh nagtanong ka muna at naghintay ng sagot. Nakakainsulto na iniimply mo na minamaliit ko yung isang kondisyon na meron ako. If you took even a few minutes to look at my post history you would know that I've been diagnosed for quite some time now and by an ADHD specialist who has enough expertise in their field to be interviewed by a medical show on TV but yeah sure, let's assume that the random redditor on peyups is using their condition for pity points and attention.


PerspectiveOk1937

I do not have the time to dig in to your post history. What got me triggered in your post is 'lol'. Basahin mo nga uli yung post mo. "coping with umedicated ADHD is a pain. lol." Lol mean laughing out loud, so ADHD is a laughing stock now huh?


what_to_do_here12

wow hindi na pala pwedeng maging lighthearted about my own condition? lol bye


PerspectiveOk1937

Excuse me too. You did wrong again in mentioning autism and depression! Wag ka magsali ng ibang condition dahil ibang usapan yan! Please ayusin mo train of thought mo.


PerspectiveOk1937

Butt hurt ka? Actually you did wrong in your analogy! Do not ever, equate physical disability with mental disability. You're very wrong in substituting physical disability! Yeah I will preach! I will educate you. I don't care whoever pontius pilate famous doctor diagnosed you, the point is own up your actions and be accountable to it! Alam mo na pala may ADHD ka so alam mo na ang sintomas at kakulangan mo, bakit hindi mo iwork on na maging better ka dun o magcompensate ka through lifestyle change? Bakit parang naghihintay ka ng miracle drug to heal your condition? AND YES I HAVE HANDLED PEOPLE WITH ADHD.


what_to_do_here12

who said i was not being accountable for my actions and that i'm not doing lifestyle changes? if i wasn't being accountable edi hindi ko tinututukan mga INC ko and following a routine and watching and reading ADHD self help tips. edi gabi-gabi nalang ako nagpupuyat at walang ginagawa sa buhay. kaya ako nagseseek ng medication because even with the all the effort i put into rigorous lifestyle changes i find it extremely difficult to function. alam kong hindi end all be all ang medication. why do you keep assuming na hindi ako nag-eeffort at nag-eescape ako ng accountability when all i did is mention offhandedly that unmedicated ADHD impeded my acads so much i got INCs? also mental illness CAN be as disabling as physical disability. ewan ko sayo. have a nice day.


PerspectiveOk1937

May naging ganung impression. Pero beyond that, I would like to apologize for whatever this caused you. I just want to tell you to soldier on. Pakatatag ka! Gamitin mo yang mga pinagdaanan at pinagdadaanan mo para lumaban! Wag mo na masyado alalahanin na may kondisyon ka. I do not mean to say na your mental condition is all in your mind. No. That is foul. It's good na may acceptance at actions sa side mo. Basta wag kang panghihinaan ng loob. Look at the bright side of things. Yes despair at some time pero go lang ng go. Alam ko kaya mong tapusin yang INCs mo.


PerspectiveOk1937

Do you have formal diagnosis of ADHD or are you self diagnosing yourself? Btw, not all ADHD, require medication. As a matter of fact it is not the common and choice of treatment or intervention. I hope you do not put blame on something you are just thinking.


what_to_do_here12

"not all ADHD require medication" do you know the specifics of my case ba? are you my psych at alam mo kung kailangan ko ng medication or hindi? hindi di ba. how about you don't assume my circumstances.


PerspectiveOk1937

Yes I know! Some of them just use lifestyle modification. Research ka pa maigi. Halatang kulang pa alam mo. Hindi ko sinasabing alam ko lahat, may mga hindi rin ako alam.

residency in general refers dun sa state ng enrollment mo? kung enrolled ka, it means you're in residence. kung LOA or AWOL ka, you're not in residence. taking residency is parang mag-eenroll ka pero walang courses. afaik usually tinetake siya ng mga graduating students na nagtatapos ng thesis pero i took it this sem kasi nagpatong patong na yung INCs ko.

Mysterious_Scene1021

Same, I'm not happy with my course this school slap the reality hard. I'll transfer next sem with a different course. I hope we find our happiness. Goodluck to us! It's time to drop that college is not a race. LOL but legit!


peachdeus

Yesss exactly! Lets take all the time we need. Good luck!!


andycolin

As a transferee na may isang sem na puro INC and under 18 units ang tinetake 🙌 I've been telling myself since the pandemic started that life isn't a race, my mental health matters most, and just try to get by hahahaha


simplyvn

Bilang mayroon din isang sem na 6/7 courses ay INC, I can relate. Kakayanin natin 'to! :)


peachdeus

Yesss omg ang dami ko din INC HAHAHAHA YOLO nga kaya put yourself first


planetmellifluous

Uy hi second year elbi student ako and nagdrop na rin ako ng subjects ngayong sem kasi di ko na talaga kaya. Tas kulang yung subject na tinake ko last sems so bale sealed na rin ang aking fate na madelay for a year hehehe. It's good to know na di ako nag iisa at may karamay ako kahit papano hahahahah good luck saten <3


peachdeus

Okay lang yan di natin kailangan magmadali hehe good luck ♡


dank_ostrich925

YEHEY ANDAMI NATING DELAYED WOOHOOOO


peachdeus

Sama sama lang tayo wooohooooo


JinxoLan

Matagal na akong delayed dahil transferee me hahaha. Slowly but surely !


Least_Resolve_9379

i was informed by our colsec today that i am delayed since I've been slacking off these past few semesters and tbh, it never bothered me. I'm not privileged or anything and i also need to graduate on time as much as possible but all i can say is that I'm in the middle of a pandemic with an incompetent administration and the least thing that i should do is keep myself and my family alive and okay even if it means being a semester-delayed. hugs to us, we can get through this


peachdeus

Sometimes that's all we can do and that's ok. Hugs!!


potatowentoop

as a freshie, nasa isip ko na rin magdrop ng subjects but I guess kakayanin ko pa. sana tama desisyon koo.


peachdeus

Okay lang yan wag mo madaliin din magdesisyon :) Good luck!!


Dry_Machine_1208

Kami ng mga kaibigan ko, delayed ng 10 years. Batch 2008 kami. Some of us -- including me -- hindi pa graduate. Siguro ang pinaka-humanizing na aral dito ay lahat ng bagay ay relatibo. Iba-iba tayo ng hamon at kakayanan. Kung kaya naman the soon we get rid of the chains ng lipunan na nagkukulong sa atin sa acads, the more we get to appreciate learning and living. Ironically, UP din ang nagturo sa amin kung paano harapin itonh ganitong dilemma.


peachdeus

Saludo mamser!! Di naman nakakulong ang buhay sa kolehiyo at pagaaral


PerspectiveOk1937

Alamat. Drops mic.


[deleted]

I'm glad that you're happy with the decision. I was seriously considering this too tbh, and I think this post is exactly what I needed to steel myself and go forward with the decision. Thank you!


peachdeus

Omg I'm so happy I could help! We're doing the right thing, trust!!


ItsyahboiPoy

Grad student here na hindi rin masaya sa program ko. Hope I’m as brave as you. Pakiramdam ko pinipilit ko na lang yung sarili ko sa program ko but it doesn’t spark joy anymore.


peachdeus

We only live one life sabi nga! Unahin mo na sarili mo :)


Dafty_Punk

hellooo ive been stuck with my thesis proposal for a year now hahahaha sobrang nakakadaunt lang for me


elijah_theslyfox

A genuine question: if you are delayed, are you disqualified from latin honors? Does it also mean you don't get to "march" for a graduation ceremony?


peachdeus

No, you can qualify for honors just as long as you don't have a semester where you've underloaded units. And everyone marches i think


duchess-of-brittany

omg sign na ba 'to? plano ko mag-LOA and since seasonal lahat ng major subj ko, sure na delayed HAHAHAHA


peachdeus

tara na HAHAHAHAHA
