I feel I can relate a lot. Initially I clicked on this post out of curiosity and I'm surprised at how much what you say echoes my own situation. I've been strongly considering being tested for a learning disorder or ADHD because I have always had an abnormal psychology but have had trouble putting my finger on it. Finding ways to cope with my anxiety and depression I ended up stumbling across coping methods for ADHD and was really taken aback that the coping methods that worked best for me to counteract my depression and anxiety are also really good for working with ADHD...

Anyway, I digress..

What I really mean to share is that I flunked out of 2 years trying to do my general education to the point that the PELL grant would not support me anymore. I found an online school related to many interests I have and I have been surprised at how easy it is for me to keep on my studies (Even when I fall behind!), how much I really absorb, and how much I actually feel like I'm learning. I think online learning is my best bet for continued education just because I connect one on one much better than in a classroom setting. With online schooling I might not be one-on-one with the teacher but I'm definitely one-on-one with the learning material and can take whatever time I need to learn it for myself rather than sitting with 20 other people trying to understand what the teacher is saying but being unable to really interrupt when I need to.

I have been frustrated a long time by time-constraints in my society and culture especially when it comes to working and school, but I've been finding ways to be patient with myself and to speak with others so that they can come to understand what it is I need to reach a faster pace or at least compromise on speed vs quality.

Best of luck!
