I'm taking my medication and It definitely helps me focus but I'm still not focusing on the right things. How do I channel this energy into something productive like my homework or staying awake and focused in math class?
I'm homeschooled and have a daily schedule that's planned out by the hour with 10min breaks in between classes. I'm following the schedule but I still have a hard time applying myself when it actually comes to my Algebra and Chem classes. It's like every second I spend in those classes I can feel the energy being sucked out of me and I just have zero motivation to listen or even try.
Sometimes when I take nice notes in Chem it keeps my attention. However I find for some lessons, it's like one new concept after another, and I don't understand it yet and I don't know how to even organize or format it on my paper. And then we're on to the next concept and my paper is a mess and I get lost in the sea of monotonous calculations on the board I guess I give up at that point.
For math class, I watch an interactive lecture which so far so good on that front. But following the lecture, I have to do 25 very boring equations and I can't even express the lack of motivation I have to do those. I wish there was something more fun about doing equations but there literally isn't. I take my math class only an hour after taking my morning meds and I still have -0.0000% motivation. Like what the heck?? Mabie, it's because I know I have other classes to get to during the day and I need to hurry?
!!Bonus Problem If Your Not Already Feeling Emotionally Drained!!:
My mom and dad took me to be diagnosed and saw it written on paper and agreed with the doctor that it was correct and even still my mom keeps on saying "It's a will thing" but she must still not understand that I'm genuinely trying and working to be more responsible. I've actually come a long way and even though I know I'm doing my best It honestly really hurts a lot to know how my best efforts are perceived as not trying to her. I want to make her proud and her not believing in me (and literally telling me she knows I won't try) makes me doubt myself. I think it's unrealistic to think it ever won't. I just don't understand how she could know I have a problem and expect it to no affect me? Why can't she meet me where I am and give me a hug and tell me she knows I can do this even though it's hard but she loves me either way. Is that too much to ask. Like can she just be on my side? I already don't like myself why would I need someone else to give me reasons to doubt and be anxious when I already do that myself??
I was wondering if any of you fellow ADHDers have any tips for how to make these classes more enjoyable or just like a general you're not alone here's my experience because I would appreciate any of that stuff so so much!

Because you are at home all of the time you might be being dragged down by all of this work, or it is too much for you. Try changing your routine and see if that helps. As far as your mother not being on your side you should talk to her about this, and if you can't write her a letter to let you know how you feel about things between you and her.
