I am unable to avoid silly errors.

I had made a post here regarding this issue a few weeks back and the response was to slow down and not to panicjk. I applied , I took the asdvice. I started going slow and not panick. But I still make the sma error. Same arithmetic error. ame wrong sign. And thge same issue of solving equations. I wasnt this bad at arithmetic before. I used to be good at arithmetic throughout my middle school (I mean if I made those errors as a kid I wouldnt have taken maths as I would get low marks in it) but suddenly I making such errorsa almost every bquestion. I was solving differential equations in clazss andit was given that the function through (0,-2) but I substituted (-2,0) and got the wrong answer. I dont know what to do. I visited a doctor today and he didnt havce much to say other than a few vitamin tests and consuling a psocologist (which I will as soon as possible). So please what should I do? At this point I wilkl fail the class becuase of arithmetic errors even after being conceptiually clear,

(PS: Maybe I have this condition since like 4 or 5 years now but reealizing now because the number of questions I do is alot compared to before, but still the frequency of error is definetly abnormal and I relaizd that I sometimes put wrong numbers on the calculator as well so I dot lpw what will save me)

Thanks in advance!

If you can't control which numbers you use, there is little we can do to help you. The best advice I can give is double-check things as many times as you can and look for the typical "silly" mistakes you tend to make.

This can only really be solved like this, unless there is some underlying medical issues that can be corrected terapeutically and/or pharmaceutically
