I hate being stupid with a learning disability

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image

My whole life I've been a failure. I'm almost 28, and I've accomplished nothing. I have a learning disability. I struggle with complex math and writing. I failed nursing, pharmacy, and coding in college. I was in special Ed classes in elementary school. I failed math in high school and multiple times in college. I had low SAT scores. I'm about to be placed on academic probation for failing trigonometry again, and I will lose all my financial aid. I'm so stupid and terrible at English that I have to use a grammar checker for everything. My life is worthless. All I do is flip burgers at Burger King. Life is so unfair. I'm ugly, dumb, and live in poverty. I hate being poor. I hate racism. I tried to change my life so many times, and I failed each time. My teachers in high school told me that I would amount to nothing because I was so dumb. They were right. I can’t even get a bachelor's degree. I’m dropping out of my biology degree after this semester. College just feels like a public humiliation ritual for me. I’m sorry for being a disappointment.
