Behind in School

I’m in 11th grade and I take my classes online. I have a medical condition so I have to dedicate 5 hours of my day 4 days a week. My school life pretty much revolves around it.

All my classes (7 in total) end in the first week of March. I need to finish AP Euro by the end of January so that I can start my 2nd semester early and take the AP exam. (I know, my school has a weird schedule) If I finish my Spanish 2 class by the end of January, I don’t have to take finals and same goes for my English class. Spanish is pretty easy and English is OK so I was thinking of just focusing on Spanish, English, and AP Euro for the month of January.

Here comes the problem. I take Pre calc and I’m still on week 2 (I’m supposed to be on week 11). I know T^T I’m very ashamed and upset that I let that happen. I hate math and there’s just so much work to do in that class so I always avoid it.

What do you recommend I should do? I have to finish AP Euro by the end of January FOR SURE, but I don’t know what do with the rest of my classes I mentioned. I feel like such a failure and I get really stressed thinking about all the work I have to do, but I AVOID IT. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I feel so lazy and unproductive, but I just can’t get myself to work. Please helpp:((

Stop feeling like a failure and embarassed. It doesn’t solve anything. Asking for help was the first step.

Take a large piece of paper, divide it into 20 boxes. Each box = 1 day =10 hours. (that leaves 14 hours to sleep, eat, shower, do whatever.)
In red, what MUST be there
write 5h = medical condition with their hours (8-10, 1-3, 7-8 for instance)
underneath: 2h = AP Euro, with the hours (I suggest a 2 hour block)
You have 3 hours left.
In blue, write what needs to be done, ie, precalc. Because you’re behind, you need to allocate more
time to it than to your other classes, so 2h. Since you don’t like it, schedule two different blocks of one hour.
You have 1 hour left. Use black ink for Spanish and geen ink for English, and alternate the days - MWF and TThS.

This schedule supposes you work 6 days a week, Monday to Saturday (or Sunday to Friday, depending).
On your day “off”, you only do the red ink stuff.
