Why do I always give up?

I'm Rach, and I'm bipolar and borderline. My tendencies to bail on things are high just for that.

I'm going to college and I'm having Latin classes. They are mandatory. And really, really hard. I am exhausted from not being able to study. How is that possible? Turns out I have ADHD and it makes things so much harder.

I want to change courses (I'd have to take a test), but Latin would still be mandatory. So I'm between leaving it for next semester or seeing how much more I can take. The other classes I have are easy.

I made a promise to do not give up, but my sanity is compromised. I am taking Ritalin (adderall) and other 7 meds. I am just not in the peace of mind to finish this semester. It ends in november, but I don't think I can. I am so tired. I am so stressed out. I am done.

The harder we dread something and stress about how hard something is the worse it becomes...

if semester ends in November it is so close to the finish line... please reconsider .... please take day by day challenging yourself to see it through .. i know that i have given up on things i should have stuck with and it haunts me.

Time is a valuable commodity and we do not know how much we get to start classes over all this time will have been wasted. consider giving yourself a break .. so what if you do not finish great as long as you finish ... imagine talking with someone years down the road telling them you were REady to give up but you stuck it out ...
