@natebott88, those seem like good grades to me. By what you’re describing, it seems like you’re on the right track, but perhaps there is something in the way that you can sort out. As Tiddler mentioned, it might be the computer habits. Those are never great. I can never sleep well, or wake up well, if I am concentrating on a screen for too long before I go to bed. It’s like it makes my brain 10x worse, and faster. I have all the words, sounds and images just whizzing around my head, on fast forward, constantly. I’ve experience this for as long as I can remember, when I was old enough to consider television or a computer before sleeping. I’ve realised now, that this is because all the stimuli is intensifying my already thought-jumbled brain, making me feel dizzy and unable to sleep. It actually feels like I’ve gone iceskating for too long, and when trying to get to sleep, I still feel like I’m on ice.

“As for homework I simply cannot do it. I never do homework at home and always did it in the 30 minutes of free time we had before the day started. Many times I simply had to choose what homework I felt was most necessary because I couldn’t finish all of it.”

It’s good that you can get your homework done, regardless of it being done at home. But what is the real reason for not getting it done at home? Is it too distracting? And yeah, I completely understand. It’s the most FRUSTRATING feeling ever when you just WANT to clean and stay organised, but you just can’t. I’d be so organised if I could keep up with it! Believe me, I’ve tried!

But anyway, you’re on the right track. Get help and professional advice. Perhaps try reading a book, rather than a game before going to sleep. Or try cutting down your game time slightly, day by day. See if it makes a difference :)
