I hope you get past the annoying speech pattern. That can be tough. It is OK to fail, and it is good to have a smaller load and be really focused on what you do rather than spread yourself thin. I think you have chosen the right strategy to succeed by dropping this class.

Somebody on the Bipolar forum does better if she develops a crush on the professor. I know you cannot will crushes, but can you consider just entertaining interesting thoughts about the classmates and/or professor, just to sort of play a game that gets you to attend? I am recommending it because the problem you are having is due to attendance, not lack of skills.
