So I used to get high grades and good performance in school last year. It has only been two weeks since school started, however I've already been unable to complete one assignment before the deadline, moderately fail two small quizzes and I'm sure I just failed the test yesterday.

I tried to study, but after at least ten minutes of just staring at the page without anything processing, I get distracted and do other things until I remember that I have to study. Is this lapse in concentration normal or is it because of depression? I have anxiety as well; is it a result of the anxiety?

I'm just trying to figure out whether it's something that is my fault, something that I can control, or not. I need to succeed in school so that I won't be any more of a waste of space as I already am. But it seems that this feeble hope is rapidly slipping out of my hands. Am I just not trying hard enough? (Even though it's hard to summon the energy to begin on the first place...)

Any knowledge or comment is duly appreciated. Thank you very much for even reading up to this point.
