Let's just say that school is causing me a significant amount of stress.

I feel like a dumb person because I'm only taking two courses this semester (to make the course load easier on me), and yet I'm so behind on my work! I'm behind because shock treatments made me forget about what work I was supposed to do, AND because I've been depressed very recently. (Could it be related to the fact that I started lithium recently?)

I'm embarassed to admit to my teachers that I'm so behind in school, because they've been so nice and understanding towards be so far. They understand what I'm going through, and I feel like if I just get more time to do my work, I'll be "taking advantage" of the school system. PLUS, I'm so unmotivated! I don't even know if I can muster up the motivation to start working.

Has anybody ever been in this situation? What should I do? Sorry for the rant.
