Hi everyone! I'm unsure if anyone asked a similar question as I hadn't seen any, and wanted to ask for advice.
So, I attended grad school right after I earned my Bachelor's in Psych. Long story short, due to the workload/health issue (at that time), I couldn't keep up, which resulted in low grades that eventually led the school to dismiss me.
Since then, I've been taking courses at my local community college, but I keep failing my math classes. I wonder if going back to grad school is even possible for me. I want to become a clinical neuropsychologist, which I know requires me to get my Ph.D. I'm willing to do all that it takes, but I wonder if it's even possible at this point. It's even more stressful for me as the pandemic's left me without a job, and I'm not taking classes at the moment since I can't pay for it. I wish I were eligible for financial aid, but I won't be since I'm a non-degree seeking student. I thought I'd be done and already be in the process of applying for grad schools. Staying in community college wasn't part of the plan, and it's already been a year. My parents have been wondering how long it's going to take until I can go back, which adds to the stress, and I'm worried I won't be able to get my Master's.
Has anyone here been in this situation and overcome this? I'm unsure as to what I can do, if anything, and would like some guidance, please.
