I am a 48 year old female. I have children. I am attending University. Deans list (not too bad for an old lady), work in social service at a non profit agencey (so I am poor LOL).

6 classes left.
I was suppose to have completed my math requirement this semester but I dropped 3 weeks in. I will make another attempt come January.

I am so tired of being in school. I want to be done so bad.
It has lost its luster at this point.

I am terrified of math, Algebra.
I must take Algebra 1 and 2, then a Quanitative Reasoning class. I am not only terrified of it, I feel like everyone will find out how dumb I am. I will let everyone down because I will fail miserabley. I will not graduate.
I am worrying about it already.

To me, out side of a mirical, I just can not do it.
When I tried this January, I did three weeks and the anxiety was so bad I had to drop it. I was sick everyday and did not understand any of it.
I felt like I was...well, not smart at all and everyone knew it.

What to do about the upcoming math anxiety next semester...
Any suggestions?
