I have trouble proccessing information and focusing?

Question

I use to be really good in school. I made straight a's. But now that I am in college, I can't focus! I can read a whole chapter in a book and not be able to tell you one things about it! Most of the time when I am reading or studying, I start to think about other things and i can't focus. Sometimes when I am talking to someone, I forget what I am talking about mid sentence. I hate interviews because it's so hard for me to answer a simple question like"what do you like to do" I can't even think about what I like to do....i hate this, what is wrong with me?? I am failing all of my classes. I don't go out at all! I don't drink smoke or do any types of drugs

Answer 1

Go talk to your guidance counsellor or student services and ask about tutoring, support, testing and extra help. Schools should be providing services for those struggling.
You may also wanted to be tested for learning disabilities.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Mdub, It sounds like you may be a little depressed. That can cause all the symptoms you are experiencing. Most colleges have a counseling service that is free for students. Often when you even just begin to talk to someone, the depression may lift enough to help you improve your performance a little. This is common in college. Seek counseling immediately, you'll be glad you did.
