I'm in my second attempt at grad school. I broke down during my first semester and had to take time off. My course instructor gave me an F for it. I contested the F saying I had taken official time off. But I lost. I restarted the whole program again. And now I'm doing well in my actual coursework but I'm having serious trouble following syllabus instructions even though they're very clear. I am missing deadlines and important instructions because I'm so spaced out all the time. 

I don't know what is wrong with me. My instructors are having to send me reminder emails and warn me that I'm not fulfilling the minimum requirements to pass the course. And this happening because I dissociate when reading course instructions. I read them over and over and over just to be sure but I still miss important details. 

I don't know why. 

Can anyone else relate?
