Well, I start back to school in about 3 weeks and I'm already dreading it. I usually take a class during the summer, but with everything that's been happening with my mental status I decided it was best to take a break. Now that it's almost time for fall semester to start I'm beginning to freak out a little. Part of me knows that I should inquire about getting special accommodations for things like test taking, but I'm embarrassed at the same time. All my life I went through school just coasting by, never seeking accommodations for anything (even though I have a legit disability that I was born with). I guess my pride and ego got in the way, hence my grades suffered drastically in high school and I barely graduated. Up until about a year and a half ago I was doing pretty well and then all of a sudden the s*** hit the fan as it were and my grades drastically dropped and I even failed a few classes. I just don't know what to do.
