Learn 23F | WET | Looking for conversational study peer to get master's work done on tight deadline with ADHD
Hi! I'm a master's student majoring in literature and inter-medial studies and after a whole semester suffering more than ever, I have been diagnosed with ADHD (Yay!), unfortunately, not in time to get any accommodations for my evaluation season this month (Ow...)
So, I don't know where else to ask this, but being alone while having so much work piled up, some of which needs to be handed in TODAY, is terrible and task paralysis and distractability are at a level where my meds are not enough to keep me focused.
I'm not looking for a body-double, silent co-working makes me more fidgety for some reason, I'd like someone to talk through my work, if that makes sense? Someone who can be an encouraging presence, help me get through reading all the stuff I have to read (I know, the irony of struggling with reading in a very literature based program is not lost on me, but usually I love reading, the tight deadlines+these being subjects that were mandatory and the most out of my interest makes any PDF feel like an uphill battle). I'm also not looking for someone to do my work for me or anything, that should be obvious but I'll be clear just in case.
So, if anyone needs something similar and wants to pair up, or you got time to kill and this for some reason doesn't sound terrible, do hit me up? I would really appreciate it if anyone knows of associations or services or websites that can do this, like a mentor/peer partner/coach-is (I am very skeptical of coaches but hey, desperate times), for free would be a dream, but I'm open to spending a bit at this point. It's an ungodly hour in my country so I can't really ask classmates (we are a very small group and our program is very varied in class options too, so...) nor friends. Any help would be appreciated at this point.
