Do you use flash cards? Anki got me through a lot of uni. Sorry I don't have any stronger suggestions, lessening your overall work load and getting accommodations would have been my first suggestion. I guess the only other recommendation I could make is troubleshoot your sleep habits. My wife and my kid both have unmedicated ADHD and they really burn out fast on bad sleep.
Yeah I've noticed if I stay up (sometimes I get too hot to sleep or my cat wakes me up to give her attention) I just cannot learn the next day.
I've been looking at all these posts and I think the answer is definitely, "take a smaller course load next semester"
Summarily, if I start doing at least 20 hours at work a week I qualify for food aid again, which would be nice to have some more grocery money
I'd love to see you get better sleep and more food security. That's going to be a game changer. Do your best for now and I hope you will reduce that course load.
