You don't mention what field you are in. Have you really found the problem(s) you had earlier and do you have a good solution? You may need to convince people that you have. And if nothing has changed, why will your marks change?
Then again, if you really were in a bad spot, and are not out of it, your grades should definitely get a big improvement. Grades can be very sensitive to the mental health of the student.
There's many people that horribly failed at a low level, then succeeded splendidly at a higher level. I include myself in that (though I haven't graduated yet). Besides having psychological issues, you may be a late bloomer. There is a reason you are going back after failing. That's almost certainly a good decision and says something about you.

I was kicked out of 2 programs bachelors of education and sociology program(I'm suppose to be a second year). The gpa requirement is 2.5 for this program and my current gpa is lower than that because I tried retaking some classes only to keep failing them.
I think my problem is that I tried to take too many classes that aren't my strong point. I'm not good at writing up essay like materials. Infact my writing overall is always my weakest point, especially my grammar. I go to workshops and stuff but I just don't know what I'm doing wrong which leads to my belief that I'm in the wrong program. I still want to be a teacher but sociology just doesn't fit me.
And I agree with grades being essential to our health...another reason why I did so badly was because I got overwhelmed with my personal life and keep on seeing bad grades that I can't improve on.
