I constantly want to drop out but I can't because that means having to deal with my family and the fact that I gave up, and it's better to just stay in college. Dropping out isn't going to solve anything and I'm just going to regret it if others are to be believed.

Besides, everyone struggles in college, and it's not like I can go to a community college since I already went to one, therefore I can't transfer anymore credits when I decide to go back to my university.

Maybe I just started bad this semester, and maybe I'll be able to retake a class if I fail next semester. It's not like I can really progress in my major because I don't meet the requirements for the classes they're offering next year.

I just feel behind because other students in my year with the same major in mind are already ahead of me in terms of classes, and there's one who's really smart and articulate and I don't speak in class, failed one test, and rarely chat with my professors (their office hours are generally no accessible). I'm just here having a hard time remembering what I did the day before and remembering something that happened to me in the past, or I don't have the energy to get any work done, or I have too much energy and I still can't get any work done.

I don't know. Maybe I'll be better accommodated next semester.

I need to figure out what accommodations I'll need though.

Well, yes and no. No in that you don't have to figure it out on your own. A good disabilities department will have a list of possible accomodations and you'll be able to choose which ones you need.....and your psychiatrist will then need to sign off on why you need a given accomodation. Once you have the list of possible accomodations, its not really all that difficult to determine which ones you *may* need. I say *may* need as its better to request an accomodation and not need it than to think you can do without, not request it and later need it.

Good luck!

I do have extended test time, but I'm thinking of adding extra time to complete my assignments.
