Hiya,

i just wanted to let you know that first and foremost I read your post, several times and I do relate. I'm sorry it's taken so long to respond. The fall semester of last year I took three classes and failed them all. The depression got the best of me and I couldn't function to make myself do any work. I used to be an almost straight A student in high school so this shocked me. But i picked myself up and am now doing much better.

I have found that math in college is so much harder than it was in highschool. I think in HS you actually take more time going over material and so it's easier to grasp. In college the pace seems so fast that i can't get a grip on the material sometimes. Don't underestimate the community colleges either, they are a precourser to university so are just as hard if not harder. I just got done taking a lower level course and it was incredibly difficult. I did get an A (Yay!) but it was very difficult.

I hope you know you're not alone. Many people here relate, their just being quiet for some reason.

Love and hugs,
Tara
