I am having difficulties coping with the demands of school.

In one class, I'm assigned into a lab group that is 80% of my grade for the class. Our group waits until the last minute to begin assignments. They are driving me more insane!!!

For all my classes, I have difficulties writing papers because I'm either bored, distracted, or dissociating. I waste so many hours staring at my computer doing nothing.

I receive low tests scores because I study the wrong information.

I'm having doubts to whether any graduate school will accept me into their program. Most programs only accept less than 10% of students applying. I have NEVER been in the top 10% of anything in my life.

School is so important to me but the frustration level is so high. It's a constant fight for me to not hurt myself or not quit school.

How do people with disabilities persevere and obtain their goals?

How does one know if one can be successful in graduate school, if there are soooo many problems in undergraduate school?

Any suggestions?
