Want to know something about learning and teaching? There is no such thing as the perfect method. We all learn different, and some of us learn much differently. I'm dyslexic, and I found that during my college years I did not care for most of my classes. I found them not interesting, and did much what you are doing now. I was studying geology, and around my senior year I found out that I hate rocks and minerals. I didn't really know what to do at that point, but luckily for my I was taking a class in GIS( Geographic Information Systems). I decided to switch to it, and I found myself engaged into it unlike anything else I had done in college.

Maybe you haven't found what lights your fire yet. Just remember that failing at something is not an indication that your not smart. It could be just no the right fit.

If you're scared by studying and failing, the only way is to do it but aim realistic so you succeed. You don't need to be top of the class, just good enough and when you have a small achievement the fear is less.
I was so scared of drawing that I would sweat, feel faint and cry when I held a pencil. I went to a class with a friend where 'good enough'was enough and effort appreciated. Now I can sit down to draw something and feel calm, or only a little nervous and enjoy it, even though the result is not perfect.
I hope you too can find that Good Enough really is enough.
Thanks for this!

Sounds like avoidance. Which is the basic building block of depression. When we don't want to do something we seek something to do, and we see it as something harmful. Thus we become down and not wanting to do things.
Thanks for this!

Hi there. Puzzclar has a point about avoidance. I think I have a real understanding of exactly what's going on, how it works, and how do escape. Feel free to have a look at the notes linked to from this post

http://egg.bu.edu/~youssef/SNAP_CLUB...0164151576.pdf

This is a great way to start back on your healing path. I would forget about worrying about your career for at least a short while. Give yourself time to figure this out and to get on a healing healthy path.

It's also a very good idea to check if something purely medical or nutritional is going on with you. Here's what I think is the best overall plan:

Depression really does make it hard to do things,though not necessarily always impossible. Thinking of you, you just described how I feel from okay to hell and back again (hopefully).
