Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail most of my classes this semester. I never want to even go to my Wellness class, so I've skipped it a lot...to the point where I've gotten a call from my professor asking about my attendance...which I ignored, mostly out of guilt. That adds another reason I've been skipping. I feel guilty for skipping, so I don't want to face my professor in case she confronts me about it or my grades or anything, so I skip more to avoid her...not incredibly logical. Even now, I'm sitting here instead of going to class, because I again can't get up the motivation to go, and it's so close to the end of the semester that I frankly don't care anymore (Not to mention I forgot to do an assignment that was due today, but my memory is a different issue altogether. I've had trouble with that all my life)...I've already screwed myself over. Might as well just accept my failure. Maybe I'll do better next semester...hopefully.
Wellness isn't my only problem. I'm also going to end up failing Biology. I've done terribly on every test, and although I have skipped a lot...that's not the reason. I just apparently can't seem to retain the information. I've studied for hours for these tests before and still failed, because I forget the names or what order sequences go in when it comes to the test.
I've been doing okay in Biology lab though, maybe something about the visuals or something like that. I don't know. However, I skipped dissection, because I will have a physical reaction to being around that sort of thing and black out. It's happened before. I tried to explain it to my professor, but she wouldn't let me out of it, so I skipped instead. A drop in my grade is better than blacking out in the middle of class and the other uncomfortable symptoms that come with it. However, I just discovered yesterday that there will be pictures on the test...not cartoony pictures...actual pictures from dissection. I'm not sure how I'm going to get through that part of the test. It's not like I can skip this time, considering it's my final.
Just...uuuuuuggggh...I'll be glad once this semester is over.

Is the withdrawl date for your school past yet? I would see about withdrawing or getting an incomplete for your classes so you don't have the F on your transcripts. Other than that, I would say see the rest of the semester off, take some time for you, and try and do better later. For me, I'm doing my best for the rest the semester, and then I'm taking next semester off and take some time for me. Feel free to message me if you want to talk.
You can retake a course to change your grade. My son bombed his first year. He was living in the dorms and found it too distracting to study. Do you have a Wellness center where there may be a therapist to help you deal with stress? My son and his girlfriend went to couple counseling through the college he attends.
You may find you have something like ADHD. I was enlightened to that when I was in college by a counselor. Find options to get through the semester. Good luck.
