Hey, I understand how hard college is. I am in college right now too. It's so difficult somtimes that I don't think people understand. Even though you failed this project, that doesn't mean you are going to fail another or that you should be ashamed. You sound like you are a good and intelligent person and one class is just one class. Keep hanging in there and know that you are a good person regardless of how you did on one project. Keep on going and I am here for you. You are always welcome to message me.

Why don't you talk to your course counselor about what's going on with the class. It doesn't make sense to me to want to hang in there with something that's too much.

Honey...........I hate to think that this class could be make or break for you. When it all boils down to it, the class is not as important as what you are putting on it. I think you are placing more on it because it signifies to you whether you pass or fail as a human being. IMHO, you need some other form of validation. Is there a hobby you excel at or a sport? Get involved in something besides this class to make you feel good about yourself. As far as college or a class goes, it is not worth your sanity. I had to quit at the age of 35. I was a sophomore studying to be a counselor. With the stress point in my life, college was the make or break and since I couldn't eliminate the other areas of stress in my life so school had to go. I felt bad, but it was not worth my sanity. Best of luck honey. Big hugs of comfort for you!! Chelle

When I said hang in there, I meant hang in there in life, not in the class. The class you should probably drop if it is too hard. Life however you should keep hanging onto.

I failed a class in college because I was so depressed I couldn't focus on the final exam....plus I was sleeping through most the classes and have a miserable time. But I'm still here. One class can not make or break you, no matter how important it seems at the time. But there's plenty more to keep you here than just a class. You shouldn't put so much emphasis on this one thing. You're life is worth more than that. Just keep holding on..you'll make it through this. You always have DS to come to and vent all you want. We'll be here for you. HUGS!

so sorry you're dealing with this. I really feel for you :(.....perhaps you could speak with the teacher...some good communication could really help make things better for you with that. And if you have some pressure taken off of you with that, you may feel better overall. {hugs}

also schools often times have services for students with documented disabilities and they can help advocate for you and help you get the accommodations you need to make it.

thanks everyone. I'm sorry about this post. I went to my class sucked it up and took an extra anti-depressant lol and i feel a little better about myself.

Why should you feel sorry about the post? This is a safe place to vent, get advice, or just express yourself. I'm sure others agree.

Just keep trying- perseverance, resilience..these things will get you where you're going.

Oh & the 'it's making me insane" & "I wanna cut myself"- are you or have you done DBT- you sound like you'd benefit- y'know how the lingo goes- dealing with difficult feelings- very borderline stuff

but yeah, just keep going with your studies- the ups & downs are inevitable...failing a project does not equate with going insane/self harming.
