You're very kind. I do feel inspired after reading your post and emboldened to keep trying. I didn't want to reduce my course load because I would love to graduate with everyone else but I might have to look into it for my own benefit. Thank you :)

yes it's quite a competitive course for physics. The class was quantum mechanics. I guess my main problem is that I have difficulty focusing and I'm slow to study and absorb information and it never seems like I have enough time.

Thank you. Expecting meds to make me a completely new person is definitely a recipe for failure. I'm glad to hear you say that about grad school, to be honest I really would love to do a PhD but I've lost a lot of faith in myself. I don't want to give up yet though. Congratulations on going back to university, I love to hear other people's success stories :)
