When I was in high school, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. Now I'm in college and I slowly feel worse. I have the most difficult time focusing, and it's like I can't remember things. I've been experiences a ton of other things to say the least. It's affecting my grades and I just keep getting more depressed. I've dropped a class every semester because I'm struggling. I can't really explain it but I feel so hopeless. I've cried everyday for the passed few months because I've basically messed up my dreams of being a doctor. I'm a mess. My mom gets disappointed in me because it's like I'm wasting her money but I don't know what to do. I'm so down.

Hi,

I'm also struggling in school and I feel quite the same as well. And I also have dropped at least one class every semester. But a couple weeks ago I went to talk to one of the guidance counselors and I finally set up an education plan. In a way, this has motivated me in not dropping anymore classes. For me it's like the light at the end of the tunnel.

I still struggle, pretty much every day, but setting up a goal lifted my spirits a little. And I told my parents about this plan and they have sort of stopped bugging me about school. It was a relief, in a way.

I hope you get better.

I agree with S. Plath. I think you would benefit from talking to one of the school counselors.

Try going to see your college Mental Health Counselor.
I've heard that every University has one, because College
is very stressful. That would be the first start. Don't give
up, talk to someone immediately. Get help.
Keep me posted on how your doing.
