Yay life is under control

[Daddy]

I'm so far behind (as in maybe 1 assignment/midterm completed in 2 of my 3 classes) in school I thought I was gonna fail out of school (Selena's sickness plus car issues have caused me to miss many of my lectures and labs, as well as failing to complete work).

I was able to talk to the professors into giving me incomplete for the classes, thus giving me until 6 weeks after the fall semester starts to finish everything.

This is a good thing.

see, good things come to those who swallow their pride and ask for help from their professors

professors generally do not like to see their students fail, after all. or at least, good professors don't.

Kaz we've been over this, I've talked to them before 
But JMV, I hadn't thought of getting incomplete on my classes, that's a potential solution for me

Incompletes always help.

The first week I tried to compensate for my issues with a shitload of caffeine and adderall so I could focus and stay awake in class. My heart rate was absurdly high so clearly this wasn't healthy.

Plus stimulant abuse was just adding to the stress and I could just see myself snapping and just ending up in a worse situation when I couldn't afford that currently (both financially and responsibility-wise).

I managed to show up to a few lectures but I completed no work and eventually stopped going at all for 2 or 3 weeks.

This removes a lot of the stress of trying to deal with it though.


protip: adderall == good for studying, bad for trying to make up for lack of sleep and other things bothering you

[YPrrrr]

Damn you guys have a lot of issues with going to class

I had real reasons

Aside from the stimulant abuse, that's pretty much what's happening to me. You ended up taking a semester off, didn't you? I don't know what's going to happen, I'm going to talk to my advisors/teachers about it again. I hope the incomplete thing works out.

I had real reasons

what were they?
I'm just a terrible person and I've been too scared to go to class sometimes, I just hide from everything instead.

I withdrew from one semester because I missed so much class because my behavior was growing more erratic as I continued to lose it (I'd take the bus into Salem before changing my mind at the last minute and just jumping on the train to Boston and walking around, for example). I lost all hope of redeeming that semester after I went into the hospital and missed midterms so I withdrew halfway through the semester.

I also ended up missing advising for registration and since a lot of the classes I needed for my major were fall only I just took the spring off too, which gave me time to recover.

I would advise doing it if you have a good reason.

Selena had to be rushed to the ICU during the same week as midterms so I missed 2 of them (made one up, still gotta do the other) and I got no sleep at all and couldn't focus so I got really fucked over with that. I then had to deal with a few other things related to this (visiting her, taking time off of class to talk to her doctor or help her register for classes) and just being too stressed to do anything.

It doesn't help that initially and still sometimes I feel like it's my fault she's in the hospital (and before someone tries to say it wasn't my fault, don't. I know it wasn't directly but the reason she's in there is partially related to me) so I end up feeling really bad and guilty about it too which hasn't been helping my mood.

I don't think I have any way of fixing this semester either, so I don't know. I just need to work out whatever issues I'm having.

Yeah, I don't have nearly that kind of excuse, so I wonder if I'll be able to get incompletes, or if they'll even help me at all.

Get a doctor to diagnose you with depression 

If you think you can get the work done then they will definitely help. Especially in a spring semester. My school gives you until 6 weeks after the next semester starts to hand in all the work and change the I to a letter grade.

You get like an extra month and a half with the summer before the fall semester starts.

Yeah, I think my school's system is similar to that, but I don't know how I would really be able to make up my work over the summer. And I'm going back and forth between taking a semester off and just working, and struggling desperately (and possibly hopelessly) to fix this semester and then take classes over the summer to make up my mistakes from last semester.
There's a counselor thing at my school but it costs money and I don't know where it is or anything about it. Really, I don't know how to use any of my school's resources.
I wonder if I should have gone to community college for a year

I haven't gone to Chemistry in a while now... I might be kind of fucked. And tomorrow is my birthday and I don't want to go to class ever and I just want to sit on a cliff and look out at everything.

I might as well have posted this, it's exactly the same. I haven't been to chemistry for 2 weeks because I know for a fact that I can't pass it.
I hope you have a great birthday tomorrow nonetheless.
