Hi Anna,

I'm also a university student...and have found it very challenging and...actually extremely frustrating...I don't have an official diagnosis but after this really started messing with my head and iterferring with schoool work I saw a counsellor (initially at school and later off campus). Essentially, I've had to cut my course load...and even with only 3 classes/term I still have to ask profs for extensions etc. Luckily, most have been very nice/understanding about it...I still feel so embarrassed having to talk to them about it and I often feel stupid. Essentially, lack of sleep, inability to focus and dissociation are the main factors interferring...I've also had classes with content that triggered me...It's also extremely frustartign to sometiems have to sacrifice quality justto actually get something (papers etc) done...I've also had times when I wrote my ideas down and even wrote parts of the essay in the rough draft and then forgot to include that crucial bit in the final draft that I was too anxious to even proof read one last time before handing it in...It's awful when you know you're capable of better but at that time can't do it...By the way, I'm also an EnglLit major :) though you wouldn't be able to tell from the way this post is written!
