| Math disorder?
Does a math disorder even exist?
Because I strongly feel that I have some kind of math dyslexia or other problem in my brain when it comes to math.
All my life I've had trouble with math. When I was 4 I took a test and I was "beyond my years" smart in every single subject except math. I was pretty much retarded in that area. And it remains that way even now. I graduated high school with a 3.8 magna *** laude, and I go to college and can get A's in everything with relative ease.
But for some reason, I just cannot do math at all. I really really try (when in other subjects I don't need to try at all), but I just cannot compute anything. In college one of the requirements is remedial math, Math 100. I've taken this course 3 times now and I've been with tutors, took extensive notes, read the book, took practice exams, and still, I can't get any grade higher than an "D-."
Anyway, this is extremely depressing me, to the point of suicide. I cannot graduate college bc I cannot pass that class (you need at least a C for it to count). My life is at a standstill. I feel that I am worthless bc I cannot do math which to everybody else is no problem at all.
If anybody knows anything about a math disorder existing, I'd really like to hear about it.

I know that when I was going through my undergrad years math for me was a trip. Fourtuantely, I got a better understanding of math by conceptualizing math problems using manipulatives (hands on). Basically, I had to analyze the problems and break it down more, put my anxiety aside and attempt to get more rest. 
Whatever you do, don't give in or give up. I read some where that problems with math corespond with the lack of rest.-I guess there is some validity to the article I read. Hang in there!
