> > I know that you guys think academics pales in comparison to the mental problems and issues on this board. However, the fact of the matter is that my depression is linearly, very linearly correlated with my midterms and such. Henceforth, I always do very badly on the tests (Grade:C/C-). As you guys might remember, midterms are all that count for a course in college. So please help...

> - Loss of Concentration (my signature)
Rzip-talk to your doc about this loss of concentration and your obsession with grades. i have felt the same way, i went to a very intense college, and its easy to not have perspective at this age and in this environment. i guess how i got past my own feelings was to talk to my mom. she made me realize that my success and failure as a person did not depend on the grades i made in college. real success is spiritual growth and development of yourself. and very sucessful people (work-wise) make c's in school. i havn't given up on school, although my goals have changed drastically. a window will always open, somewhere. you just have to recognize it. be flexible. talk to your doc. laural
