It seems like it takes me forever to get going on something. Even if i've been working at an essay, it seems like it takes me a long time to get my ideas down, and then even when i do, I still have so much left to do because it took so long just to get started. I am behind in my school work, it is frustrating. I also have some problems reading, like I will miss a word or two in a sentence, and then miss a whole idea because I didn't take it all in. Anyone feel slowed down like this with grief, or is it from being depressed?

My ability to concentrate was pretty much shot after my wife passed away. For me grief and depression pretty much went hand in hand. Things have gotten better over time and with the help of a counselor.

I feel it everyday. I go to work, and lose focus. I can be walking to another room to get something and totally forget what I was going after. In the middle of conversations, I lose my train of thought. It's the grief. We can only take our time, acknowledge the grief, and if you need to, ask for help from teachers, explain to them what trouble your having, hopefully, the least they can do is give you more time for your assignments. The main thing is, sometimes the grief is bigger than we are and we have to be big enough to ask for help. Hope this helps some.

I have so much swimming in my head.. it is overwhelming ... Then I just get frustrated. And do not get anything or started.
Try to break it down in small steps. Try to focus on one thing, and work on that. It is of course easier said then done...... But go talk to your teachers, they need to understand what your are going through and help you. take care of yourself... Hugs Deb

i've been off the boards a few days, but i assume in another post you talked abt the death of a loved one....?
sounds like grade-A grief to me. i agree - talk to teachers, let 'em know. with no info, a teacher (and i've been one) has no way of knowing how impt leniency is for you right now.
