I've been in school for over a year and still haven't passed a class
I decided to finally enroll in community College last fall 2024. I graduated high school in 2021 and have been working different jobs since. My first semester I was so anxious going back to school I couldn't even step in the classroom. I withdrew from my classes then tried again in the summer. Things were going pretty well until I got a new job and couldn't balance classes with two jobs. However I needed the money at the moment and school is expensive. The second job was only for the summer. It was too late to withdraw so I stopped showing up. I tried again in fall last year but failed again. My night job was making it hard to stay awake till the afternoon for class. At first I could manage then eventually told my job I couldn't work the night before class. They weren't happy but I didn't really care. Things were alright until my depression kind of took over. At first I just skipped one or two classes. Then I stopped going after I tried to attempt. I just felt really hopeless and gave up on everything. Unfortunately now I'm still here and I regret what I did. I didn't withdraw so it went as a fail. Now they are requiring me to meet with an advisor. I'm kind of nervous but I plain on saying what they need me to say since I don't really feel comfortable being honest with them. I want to try again but because of my past failures I'm anxious and not sure how I can guarantee myself something different. I haven't been in school in years so I'm still not completely in that rhythm. I would literally forget I enrolled in online classes. How do you guys organize and prioritize? Am I hopeless?
