But now that I am in college, I seem to be screwing up royally!
Inbetween, work, my chaotic home life, my mental health issues, and the exhausting drive to campus everyday, I have flunked two classes and I am on my way to flunking two more.
I just don't understand why I am doing this! I am so darn stupid 
I find it so hard to focus and do the homework, or I'm so exhausted I just want to go home and lay down. If only I had more self discipline! If only I was a better student! UGH!
Someone help! I need advice, I can't keep screwing up like this or I will never get done with my associates of liberal arts and never get to move on to my bachelors work in English. I'm just so upset and disappointed in myself right now  |

I feel your pain
I've been there. I think maybe starting to talk to yourself differently. I know I use to refer to myself as stupid, weak, pathetic as a way to motivate myself. I did well with it for a while but after time I started believing it.
Do you keep a day planner?
It sounds like you need to make sure your staying true to YOUR priorities not those around you.
For me...Its 1. family 2. health 3. education 4. employment.
Having some issues personally with 2-4 but #1 is good
anywho, just a thought
