I don’t know why I can’t focus. I have been on medication for 8 weeks. I have been doing a lot better while on medication, but the last week or so I’ve been missing due dates at school and I don’t want it to become a habit. I missed one due date because I thought the assignment was due on Monday night instead of Sunday night and then I had an assignment due today that I had no idea about. I knew about the assignment but I had no clue it was due today.

As a Family Nurse Practitioner, I encourage you to go on the internet and research your medication. learn as much as you can about your symptoms, medication and diagnosis. An informed patient is a better patient. As a health care practitioner, we don't have the answers to all the medical problems. Be proactive regarding your health. Psychology is a difficult medical practice. Your body is acting out to something that's going on within you. Finally I would encourage you to get CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). Find a good and helpful one. All practitioners are not the same.

I’m in therapy right now, I just didn’t add that to this post. Thank you for your reply, I will definitely do some research.
