Hi there. Untreated ADHD can lead to a lot of difficulties like you have experienced.
Have you been diagnosed with ADHD? If not I will recommend that you go for an assessment and appropriate treatment. If you have been diagnosed there are different options you can use. It is either methylphenidate or something like atomoxetine.
These medication will have to be prescribed by a doctor
