School, Grades, and Other Issues

So, My grades this past semester most likely will not be good. My cumulative GPA previous to this semester was 2.35. I was taking some more advanced computer science classes this fall. Some of them I got a C in but the others I got a D in. I also was taking a statistics course. I am terrible in math and in all likelihood I have failed the stats course. The official grades have yet to be released by the school. All that said, I am asking for prayer that I will be able to return to school next semester and that next semester will be much better academically. Studying skills do not come naturally for me. I also frequently suffer from depression, which I am sure has an effect on studying effectiveness. Thanks all.

I understand firsthand how depression can influence grades, study habits, and ability to retain information. I'll be praying.

I'll be praying Initial. I suffer from depression and it can impact everything. When I am in a episode and have to study, i try to do an hour of work, break and stress release, and then back to it to kind of help with the frustration and irritability my depression comes with.
praying!!!

I also understand what it's like to be a college/university student and undergoing depression while having to study... It's certainly not easy. I, too, will be praying.

Thanks every one. I am still worried about my grades for this past semester. But I guess all that I can do is wait and pray until the grades do finally come out. Hopefully, I will be able to continue at School. I am a junior and it would be a shame if all of the work and toil I put in would be for nothing. Thanks everyone.

So, here is an update on the situation. Grades came out today. I made a 1.68 for the semester. I failed Statistics. I passed or did better than passing on everything else. However, what that means is that I will have to do a summer sometime soon to replace the score in Stats. I kept the university requirement of 2.0, just barely. My cumulative gpa is currently 2.13. I do not know what this means for future job opportunities but for right now I am still in school. Next semester something must change. For the past few semesters it has been this sort of cycle. I either barely pass or do not do as well as I want. Maybe I need to be more aggressively seeking help for professors or to get a tutor or something. I cannot go through this every semester. Also, It doesn't help that studying doesn't come naturally to me.
