When I first returned to school I took a reduced course load, so that I wouldn't set myself up to fail. I slowly gained confidence and learned how to manage my time and prioritize tasks. Eventually I was able to increase the number of courses I took per semester. Perhaps you can try easing yourself into class.

It helps to know your limits. For example, I struggle with time management. The stress this can cause is very exhausting, enough that I need to sleep for 12 hours to recover. This was always a concern that I would never ignore especially when I was registering for class. Other things to think about are your commute, circadian rhythm, commitments, and work.

You have to believe in yourself and that you can do it. Take it one day at a time. Try not to think about the distant future. Think short-term goals. It makes school less intimidating and scary.
