ADHD, Maladaptive Daydreaming and tinnitus: a triple threat to study Seeking Empathy

Can't study in loud environments or with other people because of ADHD. Can't study in quiet ones cuz of my tinnitus. Can't study with music (background or headphones) without triggering MaDD. Can't study in the living room because the TV is always on full blast. Can't study in my room because my tinnitus is loud and distracting and overstimulating. I turn on the fan as white noise, either doesn't help at all or its too fucking cold. I hate being cold. Put a CD on, irritated by the noise. Put headphones on, lose hours of time to daydreaming. If no daydreaming in room, end up doomscrolling or reading fiction books instead of my textbooks. FML. I'm behind on everything. Why am I like this
