This is something that my grandmother, whom I love and respect, told me. At this point I had run into several problems due to executive dysfunction and social anxiety, but I had solved or was taking steps to solve all of them. I had called to update her on how I was doing, and she went on and on about how I need to organize myself. I'm doing all I can, but there are times when technology (phone alarms, email app, Blackboard/app, basically my phone) fails me. There are times when the people who are supposed to help, are completely unhelpful (especially bank "customer service." I've accepted at this point that I'm never going to be able to log into my online account, or figure out how to access my savings account. Sorry, that was completely off topic). I suppose all this is my fault because I'm supposed to have backup plans and everything, and at age 20 I should know how to do things, etc. But knowing that I'm doing all I can think of doing and I'm still doing worse than I've ever done, I know now that I'm not competent enough to be independent. I think I should drop out of college. Thanks, Grandma, for making me realize that.
