When I was young, I was always pretty much on my own. I was always on my mind and everyone then thought I was also very shy. I didn't make much effort to interact with peers.<\/p>\n<p>When it was time to go to secondary school, I was advised to do VWO\/HAVO. I was so happy about this, but once I arrived at my secondary school, things did not go as expected. I never managed to get anything done and everything I read seemed to go past me. I often describe this myself as that the information didn't seem to reach my brain, like lemonade in a straw, flowing down before reaching the mouth. I just couldn't get it done. I went from VWO\/HAVO class the second year to HAVO class. Again, I ran into the same problems and moved on to VMBO class. Without studying for it, I passed all my subjects. That's how I got my VMBO diploma and went on to study at MBO.<\/p>\n<p>This is where I finished Social Legal Services. Again, I did this without ever doing anything for it. Thus, I began to forget that I had a problem. After this, I decided to step up to HBO, knowing that I had completed my MBO degree without any effort. I started studying International Business and Management. One of the toughest studies at HBO. I had failed almost all my subjects in the first term. This made me so depressed. I felt so stupid. I had expected to cope easily. At first, I thought I was really stupid for a long time. Later, I did start asking myself how it was possible that I heard from so many people that I was intelligent, that I still had insight with some things, that I had been advised VWO\/HAVO first. This was such a disjointed situation. I knew there was a puzzle piece missing.<\/p>\n<p>So I went to the GP who told me that I was probably <a title=\"ADD\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">ADD<\/a> had and referred me to a care facility. And yes, it was right! Everything was now falling into place. All the little things I thought were traits of mine. Like always having music on, or the TV on softly, always those terrible mood swings. When I found this out, I knew I had to try to make the best of it. Ritalin I prefer not to take. Still feel a bit like it's very close to drugs. Previously, I have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lto3.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">LTO3<\/a> used, but this unfortunately did not help me. I think it is different for each person.<\/p>\n<p>I now use while learning <a title=\"Binaural beats improve concentration and relax the brain\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/binaural-beats-brain-in-alpha\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Binaural Beats<\/a>\u00a0and I also meditate. I also take Omega 3 and 6. This helps against mood swings and I also take evening primrose oil for concentration. I am now in the second year of IBS at HBO. I have passed all my subjects. Unfortunately, I haven't got my p yet because of a 5.4 on a group project, but I will definitely get there. I hope my story also motivates you guys to persevere, even if it is still so tough. Good luck to you all.<\/p>\n<p>Greetings Rewina<\/p>\n<p>Leave your comment below on Rewina's life verse<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-marketing-button uagb-marketing-btn__outer-wrap uagb-marketing-btn__align-center uagb-marketing-btn__align-text-center uagb-marketing-btn__icon-before\" id=\"uagb-marketing-btn-bc07d9fd-afab-465d-bd82-96e12407b527\"><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/category\/life-stories\/\" class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__link\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener \"><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__title-wrap\"><h6 class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__title\">View all submitted life stories here<\/h6><\/div><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__prefix-wrap\"><p class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__prefix\"><\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Received life story from Rewina about her life with ADD and the impact on her studies Studying with ADD I am a young lady of 21 years...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14654,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[552,1131,1506,1162],"tags":[5,598,24,731,130,734,732],"class_list":["post-7982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-levensverhalen","category-add","category-add-adhd","category-volwassenen-met-add-adhd","tag-add","tag-binaural-beats","tag-concentratie","tag-moeilijk","tag-school","tag-studeren","tag-studie"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.addkenmerken.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
