<p>Just this summer, a couple of months ago, I took some dual enrollment courses. All As. Just like the year before, all As. </p>
<p>And now, Junior year, so far, it's all Ds. Ds. I went from Straight As to straight Ds. </p>
<p>And Im trying. Im trying so hard. I do everything Im supposed to do and more. More so that I can understand. More reading, more practice, more problems, more everything. </p>
<p>And then I take a test. Yet another F. </p>
<p>What's happening to me? How can I turned so dumb in a matter of weeks? What's wrong with me? I feel like my whole world is falling apart. Like Im someone else. Someone who's always failing.</p>
<p>I was coming down these stairs today and I had the sudden urge to thrown myself from them. I've had those of lately. Everyday I go to school waiting to improve my grades, do something good. But then the bell ring and the school day is over and I failed myself a little more. Fail a little more each day. </p>
<p>I was walking along a brigde of about 3 stories high and I wondered what would it feel like if I plunged myself down from it into the highway below. My vision was blurry from how much I had been crying walking home from school. Crying because I failed yet another time. </p>
<p>What's wrong with me? What's happening to me? Please help.</p>
<p>First, please calm down. If you are having these thoughts of harming yourself, you need to get proffesional help-as in visiting a school psychiatrist or other doctor, and soon. These thoughts are not healthy and may very well be barring you from doing well in school.</p>
<p>just relax a little bit and take some personal time to do stuff you enjoy, then worry about the grade thing. the same sort of thing is happening to me right now in my math class. just know that you HAVE made a's before so you CAN do it again. good luck and i hope you feel better</p>
<p>Relax. Don't worry so much about it, in fact I just dealt with pretty much the same thing (and I'm in college, going into a field which is VERY GPA-centric). I know it's tough for you, it sure as hell was and still is to an extent for me because I studied harder than ever and put in the effort yet I felt like I was regressing.</p>
<p>You get frustrated, and feel like nothing you do can get you out of your slump. I've been there. Just hang in strong and everything will be alright. You see professional athletes hit the wall all the time in sports, and they're on national TV. </p>
<p>If you need to, go for a run or a swim and take your internal rage out, cause otherwise it's a vicious cycle where you're frustrated so you can't focus, so you do worse, which makes you more irritated with yourself, and it's just a downhill self-castratingfest from there. Feel free to patch me a message if you want someone to talk to about this.</p>
<p>Take 2 week break from CC. Now!!! Go and hang out with your friends during the time you would spend on this site. It will give you perspective. How many EC's are you involved with? And are you in all dual-enrollment courses? If so, you might want to drop the one you hate the most. Relax first, then worry about grades.</p>
<p>Grades are not a good reason to throw onself off a staircase. I feel the same way when I Asian-fail a test (well, kind of...). Don't be afraid to ask for help, even from random people on CC, as long as it's not be, because I'll probably make it worse as I am wont to do.</p>
<p>Please get a medical check up to find out if there's any physical cause for what seems to be depression. You could, for instance, have anemia or a thyroid problem.</p>
<p>If no medical problems are found, please go see a licensed mental health therapist -- social worker, psychologist or psychiatrist as what you're describing could be signs of a serious depression -- something that it is not possible to overcome through will power, and something that can be very difficult to identify for yourself when you're in the throes of it. Depression can be fatal because of the risk of suicide, so please follow my advice and get help for yourself.</p>
<p>You're obviously overloaded and stressed. It's better to have one or two fewer classes and be doing well in them than to do everything and do them badly. It's probably a matter of focus and you sound burned out.
Take a break! Slow down!</p>
<p>Same boat. Chill....it's worse if u think like that. I started working my ass off...another C, B, F, D actually now its an A. If you dwell on your past grades, your concentration decreases and the mind goes into super dumb mode....STOP stressing. The more u think of the future, the more tense your mind becomes. Every assignment is an assignment, its it's own thing, just like every test is its own assignment. Oh, and talk to ur teacher, on how he/she recommends studying (u'll get his tests then...fyi...) Good Luck okay? And as there are so many depression thing above...I won't mention it...PULL THROUGH IT MAN! (or WOMAN!) okay..u got the point. Chillz</p>

<p>The things that you are describing are not things that healthy people go through. Please see a medical doctor about your difficulties, and if no medical cause is found, see a licensed psychologist, social worker or psychiatrist.</p>
<p>What you're experiencing is not a matter of lacking willpower. If you could have fixed this on your own, you would have. There is something beyond your control causing your difficulties, and the sooner you get professional help, the better.</p>
<p>Weren't you the one who was taking ludicrously difficult courses before taking their prerequisites?</p>
<p>There are some things you really do need to understand before taking certain courses. (Like you really do need to know precalculus before you take AP Physics B, otherwise you won't understand anything and you'll get D's in all your classes.) Knowledge is cumulative. No matter how smart you are or how hard you work, you can't evade that key fact.</p>
<p>You should probably consider dropping some of your ludicrously difficult classes. Nothing's wrong with you, it's just your stupid course schedule.</p>
