see if you can get a tutor. When I was going for my Master's, I couldn't remember anything, so I got a highschool student to tutor me. I'm not kidding. Less iintimidating and they are still very close to it. BTW, once graduated, it's all out of my head. I don't use it.
Now may not be the best time to do Algebra and if it is any help I only completed the 9th grade and I can't do Algebra or any kind of math beyond adding, subtracting, multiplication and division. I did get a GED and go on to college but it wasn't easy. I actually just got my associates at the Community College in June 08 which was the month I finished tx. I had to take a Biology class that had some math and I was in tx and I thought I was going to die just going up the stairs to get there every Tues and Thurs after a long day at work...some how I made it - and you will too.
The fact that you are even pursuing this now shows how determined you are and with that type of determination you will suceed at whatever you try.
Don't be so hard on yourself...
Good luck to you and your endeavors!

Get Algebra II for Dummies. It explains it very well, and goes over things like fractions (I forgot how to do them, too). It is unnatural for adults to go back to college and do math. 99% of us don't use that stuff in real life, so we forget it. I have managed to retain enough since I did the Dummies book and took the one class (Linear Algebra) that I needed for by degree. I already had the Calculus credit from 1998. I know they are probably going to slip some in in Grad school even though they are math classes per se. Most colleges have remedial math classes (I've take them, too), that are pretty good but they eat up your time.
Im starting to think the drugs may affect me in a certian way ,and i cant even regonize it...i know i say some stupid things latley....all i know is the TX can cause worry....ive got so much on my mind...ive worried i may lose all ive worked for, for 20 years...ive have to throw it all to the curb....if i cant get a job and pay the rent...at least ill be able to finished TX...im going to leave this city... as soon as im done TX...im sick of this city...i just may ...ill go back home and live in a small town...i have family i can stay with...I HATE THIS RAT RACE
Rocker, you can't underestimate just how insidious the tx drugs are. They can really warp your perception and dent your emotional wellbeing so that everything in your life feels like a downer.
My advice - don't brood and obsess about things (another tx side effect). When you find yourself doing that just say OOPS and change the channel. Things will start to feel normal again some time after you stop tx. Really,
