Who told you that your IQ is 72?
Don't believe everything that the Internet tells you, especially in regards to IQ.

I assure you, that if you really had an IQ of 72, you wouldn't have been able to get into uni.
How did you receive you ADHD and Bipolar diagnoses?

Apparently 72 is bottom 3%?

Don't you need 80 IQ to do most labour and physical jobs and 85 for the military? (I think this was found during US Military tests before Project 100,000) -- what job do you do and do you find it difficult?

Actually some people with low IQs, are able to live relatively normal lives, hold low skilled jobs and use computers.

Oh wow I got that completely wrong, for some reason I thought low 70s was severe mental disability but mild intellectual disability apparently starts at 69. Thanks

But an individual with it would likely be able to live independently.

Online tests can't accurately measure IQ. Most only test spacial awareness anyway.

Frankly, you're not. Someone on the borderline of intellectual disability like this wouldn't be at uni. (such people would likely struggle to pass a few if any GCSEs) If you can get through on medication - any perceived "deficiencies" in cognition are probably down to the adhd/bipolar. (not a doctor tho so)
Online IQ tests do not mean anything. (also a pretty flawed measure)

Online testing is not accurate. If you have issues then please be assessed correctly by the correct channels.

What coping mechanisms do you use?
What are you studying?

Surely medication hasn't got rid of all of your symptoms (or maybe you've found medication that is very effective for you).

I do many things like sports (though not this year), meditation, music. Journaling helps too.
I study Maths at university. I am naturally good at Maths so that could be the reason I have managed

Did you get that score from a psychologist or was it from an online IQ test?
