<p>For some reason I cannot seem to do good in my classes.
I was going to purdue. Long story short couldnt keep up the grades got kicked.
Now im at ivy tech and I failed one class passed another with a D and Tried to retake the summer class but then that put me at Terminated which I am going to appeal. I just dont understand why I am not doing good.
I dont feel like I should be in school.
Half of the time im worried about other things and I have a bad case of depression and anxiety which is currently untreated.
I wonder do I have hdhd ... im just not focused like I wanna be.</p>
<p>you need to be speaking to your family doctor, not us, OP. If you haven’t a family doctor, or don’t like the response of this clinician, try counseling services at IT: <a href=“http://www.ivytech.edu/southwest/counseling.html”>http://www.ivytech.edu/southwest/counseling.html</a></p>
<p>What are you worried about that you say keeps you from doing your schoolwork and going to classes? I do not think your appeal will be successful, from what you’ve mentioned here. Good luck on your next-steps. </p>
<p>Did you type that from a phone? I think you will get better responses if you type it out from a computer. Honestly your grammar and punctuation are not good in this post.</p>
<p>You can meet with an MD about possible ADHD. A psychiatrist would be best but an MD can get that started. You could try meds and see if that helps. You can also get a neuropsych. evaluation for other learning issues. Only you now if these might be relevant. If you have been getting good sleep and working hard, I would look into these other explanations. If you do need help, avail yourself of resources at whatever school you end up at, including psychiatry and MD, counseling, advising, time-management coaching, and tutoring.</p>
<p>Many students do community college for awhile to get started again. If your record is cleaned up there or at the school you are now attending, you can move forward. But college is also only one route. You can train at community college or other vocational resource for a trade and do really well in life. Perhaps a more practical route will appeal to you. Check out the career certificates (many in the medical field, but not all) at a community college perhaps.</p>
<p>Seek out professional help</p>
<p>This sounds like a really classic case of depression, including the acknowledgement that the depression exists and is not being treated. I have friends who struggle with depression who say that the worst part of it is knowing that if you started going to therapy, or started taking your meds again, you’d feel better, but you can’t even get up the energy and motivation to do those simple things. You can’t even pick up the phone to make an appointment.</p>
<p>When you’re in the throes of depression, everything looks hopeless and every effort seems like too much trouble. Even getting out of bed is impossible some days. But – there is a solution, you just have to make yourself go get it. Good luck!</p>
<p>You may have ADHD. Or, your untreated depression and anxiety may cause the difficulty focusing. </p>
<p>Seeing a professional about the depression and anxiety is the place to start. If medications are prescribed, take them regularly and give them time to work. Adjustments in the medication are usually necessary. Keep your appointments with your health/mental health professionals. You need to give them a chance to help you.</p>
<p>
So you do in fact know what’s wrong. Get some treatment, and put aside school for the time being until you are able to cope again. Life isn’t race.</p>
<p>Some schools allow you to expunge grades with a psychiatrist evaluation.</p>
