A little background about me and school...I have always found it easy. It is something that comes to be naturally. I am a 4.0 student, I got a 31 ACT composite score...I am a senior this year. School just started on the 21st of August...And my struggles are worse compared to last year...

So let's rewind to last year...I was taking a full load because I was okay at the beginning. Chemistry, CIM (an engineering class), Pre-Calc/Trig, Intro to Calc, Composition, Literature, Speech, Spanish 3...etc, etc, etc...Around December, I started to notice I wasn't right...I went in to see the school counselor...And we started talking then. But soon after, the school troubles started...I struggle to focus and to remember things. And it is still the same this year, just with added issues.

But now let's move forward to this year where I am having issues already. I've only really received homework in 2 classes, but I either do one of two things. I either get overwhelmed at the amount of things I have to do and freak out, even if it isn't a lot, or I start something and want to go to another subject 15 minutes later. I don't know how to control it. And I really struggle to just sit down and DO SOMETHING! And it's so frustrating.

I know I am a good student, I know I'm smart...I just feel so shot down by something. I don't even know what it is. I don't have a dx, I just started T last month...But it is hard for me to understand why I can't just concentrate...

I'm not doing homework right now when I should be. Eventually I will calm down and just do it. Maybe. I just know I can't do this when I start getting homework in all my classes. And my college composition class starts on September 5th.

Help? Anyone? I don't know what to do anymore...

Any advice, encouragement, etc, is greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much.
