I'm sorry to hear tthat happened to you. I just wanted to chime in and say one thing, you got this. I've just started college and I'm taking 4 classes while working two jobs and you. You seem to be doing everything a good student should be doing, you're studying, using flash cards, you break the larger problems up into smaller chunks and you plan out your best course of action, you're asking questions outside of school to get more information.

From what I've read and learned so far in my Program and exploration course, this is exactly the types of things a "good" student does. I think you already exhibit the good habits of a good student who is willing to do the work to succeed.

I can't speak for your health but I do know that repetition, deliberate practice and physical exercise help with memory. There was a study recently done that said that older people on who walked on a treadmill for an average 30 minutes a day for 8 weeks were able to retain more information about a story they read than the people who had not exercised. My point is more deliberate "memory" practice and a little exercise may help with your mood and your memory and attention issues.
