I'm going through something very similar. All through school I have had less then average marks, until my last year in high school. I decided that I would put forth a genuine effort to prove to myself I could do it, and behold I did. That year I had a B+ average and felt pretty confident in myself and my abilities. The next year I was off to university, and things didn't work out. There were way too many distraction for me to handle, and I failed out.

It's only now that I am realizing there is something not right. I am depressed and angry all the time and I really think it has to do with the fact that I can't focus or concentrate long enough to ahead. I know I have huge potential because I am a very determined person and that is the only reason I have made it this far. But it is taking it's toll on me mentally and physically.

I go to see my doctor on Weds. and am pretty nervous about the whole thing. More embarrassed than anything, and I know I shouldn't be. Anyways thanks for listening and I'll keep you posted.
