I don't know how it is for you, but being emotionally unstable and subject to panic in its various forms definitely affects my ability to focus and learn.

Good question Zen88
Looking back now I actually think I would dissociate to avoid all those feelings and move into the 'nothing' feeling. I could then look 'normal' and people wouldn't wouldn't ask questions. I wouldn't allow it to affect learning. I would try harder, couldn't concentrate, anxious, scared, fear. I had less ability to do subjects like Math and science but fine with others. I earned my degree 4.5 years later so the measure for me is still anything is possible. So I guess everyone situation would be different. I actually though I was fine back then. But now when I look back....., well I am paying for it now. My brother was murdered while I was still in high school (16 years old). Front page news - I didn't feel good about the attention. To be as normal as possible was the most important, I tried hard to not let it affect my learning.
