I'm failing at life. Please give me advice?

I'm in college. It's a selective, private college. I can't keep up with the work. I have anxiety and I can't get all of this under control. I took a year off to work on anxiety, have seen psychologists on a regular basis, have tried different medications (the side effects of which have made me vow never to take another SSRI again), and am working with academic advisors and counselors now. I cannot handle this. I already dropped one course. I was such a good student in high school, but there isn't enough time and I've let myself get so far behind that even if I did nothing but study from this point on, I would probably make Cs at best, maybe a B in one class. If I leave here, I'm terrified about my future. I hate community colleges. I've audited courses at private colleges and community colleges; I've tried to go to a state university and dropped out in the first two weeks, tried to go to the selective college and dropped out in the first two weeks (only to return this year in an attempt to make it work). I don't know what to do. I don't want a transcript with a bad GPA following me around and preventing me from getting into good graduate schools or keeping me from transferring. If I leave now, I think I can get a Withdrawal on my transcript instead. I'm panicking, and I need some advice. I hate college immensely, but I want to make good money. Thanks.I'm failing at life. Please give me advice?
College is not the only way to build a solid future. I am trying to get my degree online and I can feel some of the same anxiety about my classes that you just described.





However I really believe that there are some really intelligent people in this world who have trouble focusing and studying for whatever reason. I know that with myself I have a hard time reading for more than 15 minutes without drifting on to other thoughts. But when I am in a classroom I can stay focused on the entire lecture.


I really can't name think of any lucrative careers off the top of my head that you can embark on without a degree, but I know there are a few. You just need to find out what it is you do best and I'm sure there will be an avenue to get to your goal without a degree.I'm failing at life. Please give me advice?

as for the stress, u goto bring it down man, u cant work like that china, its distracting. ther s 2 types of stress. eustress which is gud stress, which helps u become a beta workin, understandin. etc person and distress which u gt which is gna break u down. u gta hav more fun. make time for socializing. go out to parties, hook up and shag dolls. make urself happy and confident.

I know you hate community colleges but they will help you with the one on one training. also you won't have to figure out your life on your own sometimes taking just two clases or one can clam you down don't tak so much just to try and get out of college as fast as you can if it is causeing you stress and anxiety. or maybe a trade school. that help you in an alternitive career . that would help you till you can figure out what you want to do. I am assumeing you don't know exactly what it is so here is one way of finding out because we all were sent her for a purpose.





1 it has to be something you love to do that you would even do for free?





2 It should be something that would help others in the field you want?





3) if you get the chance look it up online it is a book on how to get a job in 60 seconds not saying you don't have a job but it deals with your goals and things like that . the book is pretty old however the printed dae is in 1983 but it will help you out so check it up.
