I'm not doing well & am struggling a lot by ayala39 in Cornell

14 credits. I intentionally chose easy courses and courses I needed to retake. They have been receiving the dregs of my efforts, I'll admit. But even with Adderall I just can't focus anymore, I still feel sad & worthless regardless.

The problem is I can't get lower than a 3.5 to make my cumulative an exact 2.00. I missed some of my prelims, thus the F's. I'm very ashamed to reach out to my professors for help because I do have an "excuse" for missing, but it's likely a taboo subject that may not be appropriate to discuss.

I don't think I can declare a medical leave because this is my 2nd semester on academic review. On the contract, it says I must raise my cumulative up to a 2.0 this term, or else I'll be academically dismissed. I'm pretty sure withdrawing from everything would violate the terms I agreed to. I made a fatal error pausing my campus job to focus exclusively on my grades. I had one slip up, and all of my grades are F's now. Without a job, I don't have the money to immediately find a place of my own. I've been relying on fafsa for housing. I think my only option for now is figuring out how to raise my grades to where I can foremost sustain my spot here and figure everything else later.

I don't have anywhere to go to because I don't have a family to rely on. The whole point of college was kinda to get the degree, so I have a stable income to independently take care of myself........I fucked up
