Hi, I'm going to end up ranting. I appologise now, I've had a rough day and I need to vent a little.

I've been sat for the last 4 hours, trying to do a piece of homework for Religious Studies. It will be the first piece of homework (out of about ten pieces given out to the class) I hand in, since the start of year. I didn't do the other homeworks, because I couldn't. I don't have a reason to be honest, I just didn't do them. I found it difficult and every time I sat down to start doing it, I'd get distracted/bored/tired and just not do it.

I have very low concentration/attention, especially on things I find not-so interesting... like Religious Studies. I like the idea of the subject and I'm good at it, I just find it incredibly dull and my motivation is non-existant.

I recieved my half-term report yesterday - Law is excellent (predicted C/D, achieving A/B), Psychology is also good (predicted C/D, achieved is not accounted for as I missed the first three weeks due to a change in subjects).

Religious studies (C/D pedicted, C/D achieved). Oh and not to mention her notes - basically the TL;DR is that I am good at the subject, but unless I attend and unless I hand in every piece of homework, I'm going to fail the subject.

She knows about my struggling with the homework and she also knows about my mental health issues, yet I feel as though that is being completely disregarded when she thinks of me.

I don't want special treatment, who does really? But I do need consideration and understanding. I'm not sure what to do.. I also don't want to be kicked out of college (which can happen since it happened to me last year - pretty much the same circumstances). On top of this, my mental health worker lady (a clinical nurse -_-) isn't doing anything to actually help me (check my other thread in Psychotherapy if you want background on that). So yeah, I feel completely alone and as though no one is giving me the space I need to sort my head out. Every time I feel like I have settled a little, a teacher comes a long or I get a bad mark on my essay or whatever, and it sends my head into a frenzy - like I go back to square one again. I imagine it a bit like a wave on a calm sea, I eventually get a bit settled and calm until a massive wave comes and messes with my head.

My attendance for RE is low because the class has a lot of people and my social anxiety seems to spark up whenever I get near to the class room.

I don't know what to do. I need help! Please, any advice you have would be welcomed. Everyone around me is just like "Do the homework.. problem solved." or "Just go in.. it's not that bad." And it makes me want to scream.
