hello, i am in need of some advice and a hug. so, some background. I am a high schooler in the public school system and I recently moved from a great private school where they taught things in a beneficial way to this huge public high school. I have ADHD and pretty severe anxiety and I have struggled with the multiple-choice tests on literature. I was always the top of my class, but now it's gotten weird. Like, i know the material, but it never comes across and I always feel clueless, no matter how much I work on it. Well, today i had a test on the Odyssey, and i aced it - but i kind of cheated. I struggle with talking myself out of answers, so i confirmed two and now i feel like actual garbage. I never cheat and i feel sick to my stomach, but my school has a super strict policy abt this and idk if it would be worth retaking the class because i knew all the things. Please help; i feel so terrible right now

I completely understand I also have ADHD and anxiety it can be overwhelming when it comes to test you made a mistake that's ok as long as you learn from it is there anyway you can talk to your parents about getting on meds for the ADHD and maybe the anxiety I found it really helpful
Hi. I hope you're feeling better today, and if not, I have what I hope would be consolation. If you were just confirming the answers you already put down, you're probably fine. If you had actually changed something in response to looking up those answers, that's a bigger problem. That small instance isn't worth retaking the entire class, and I know this is probably going to sound like telling a depressed person "just be happy!", but try your best to trust your gut. I struggle with overthinking and talking myself out of answers as well, but if you already know everything, your gut shouldn't be wrong. I hope you're feeling better, and best of luck on any future tests. On another note, is there anyone you could tell about the ADHD and anxiety? <3
