I'm so mad at myself right now, and it's frustrating because I know it won't do anything.

I am taking a class at a community college for fun this summer. Two days ago, I was an hour late for class (it's a 2 hour class) because I didn't hear my alarm and I overslept. Today, I overslept even later and missed the entire class. And we had an exam today, and exams can't be made up; if you miss one, you get an automatic zero.

I'm so frustrated. I don't know what to do. I've always had a hard time waking up in the morning, but it got worse since going on sedating antipsychotics.

I'm going to change the sound the alarm on my phone makes to something more obnoxious, but I don't think that alone will solve the problem. I already put my alarm on the other side of the room; that doesn't help.

Please give me some suggestions. I'm at my wits end. I can't believe I missed my exam today. I'm trying not to get too mad at myself because I know that it won't solve anything, but I'm having a hard time with it.

Thanks!
