Everyday I have to relearn what I was taught in class.

I wake up to a blank mind, the only thing running through my head is who am i? I have to re figure out who I am everyday and what exactly I am doing. Does anybody else have to go through this everyday?

This is such a pain considering I'm taking a hard ass class that requires a lot of memorization and a bunch of other stuff, organic chemistry and just in general this sucks i guess, i mean i dont really know. If i wasn't required to know me and to be a good person then I dont think I would care but i need to be able to do stuff.

I don't think it is that uncommon. I would ace a test and a couple of weeks later the material would be nearly entirely forgotten. It used to irritate me. Most people, including me for the most part, either need to use what you learn, or go over it repeatedly until it becomes ingrained and you could actually teach the material. The only suggestion I have is to try to understand how things connect and see the underlying significance of what is being taught instead of committing large amounts to memory.

It has taken me almost three hours to be full awake today and that is just my focus and problem solving skills so to speak. other then that i'm just a wondering airhead literally. I was never this way at all, maybe I have a misinterpretation of my past but i feel it was a lot better than this. I feel as though I'm at the level of my freshman year maybe even less. I remember having a weak point during my freshman year in highschool. if this is the case then it should take me another 3 years to be my self again. This would bring the total to 6 years of me being myself again. 3 for the past 3 years and 3 for the next 3 years. f**k life, i don't know what i did to deserve this, I remember being told I was an mean when I was younger but i don't think i was ever an intentionally trying to behave that way.

was typing this before that was posted.
