This has come on pretty suddenly, maybe over a few months. I am so depressed. I am in college and can't even get through a sentence. If it's a short sentence I'm ok but if it is a long sentence with a point I can't piece the whole sentence together for it to make sense. After I read over and over and move on to the next sentence I have already forgotten the sentence I just read.
I have tried different solutions to no avail. I read over and over, then I highlight the sentence, read it out loud, and then rewrite the sentence myself, but still, I just can't get it.
I was an avid reader before this so it's not a reading level problem. Has this happened to anyone else? It became so apparent in history today when we had to read an article and answer about 10 questions. I tried all my strategies and it just wasn't going to happen.
I called the disabled student program which I already belong to and asked for learning disability testing but I guess at the moment they don't have a specialist on staff so there's nothing they can do. I was really upset with hearing this.
My self-esteem which is already very hard work to keep up, took a huge hit today. I'm so depressed now because I've always taken great pride in my intellect and good grades without being arrogant lol.
Now I'm failing every test in all of my 4 classes. I need to stay in school because the financial aid helps keep the roof over our heads (my daughter and I) I feel so stupid and inadequate. School and my daughter are the only things that keep the depression at a manageable level and keeps from taking me over. Now school is just making my depression worse. I'm begging to feel agoraphobic again. I don't want to go there again.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions? If I can find help with my school work that would be cool but it still won't help with me passing my tests.
