I Feel Stupid

So today I went to my first class of math and I had a really hard time understanding what the teacher was talking about. Well I kinda knew what she was talking about but I'm not as fast as all the other students when it comes to figuring out a problem. It's been 2 years since I've been to school and I feel like such an amateur right now. Is this normal? My brain feels so rusty. And my attention span sucks too (probably due to all that drinking I used to do).....Am I screwed? My focus just really sucks....I get distracted too easily. Do I have some kind of brain disorder? I hope I'm just feeling this way because it's been a while since I've actually done a math problem. I honestly haven't done jack $hit since I graduated high school. I took 2 years off to work on my people skills as a cashier and I'm fine now but I'm slacking with school. I don't feel welcomed at a place like school, smart kids go to college and apparently I suck at it. I feel like really unique but in the bad way...I feel like all the other people now know how dumb I am. Should I just go on a marathon of studying?

I hardly feel any different from a high school dropout. I barely graduated high school with a 2.5 gpa.

Which math class is it?

I don't know if they call it this at all the schools but it's Math 121/intermediate algebra.

It's always hard to get back into school and to study a new subject, especially math. Just keep at it, keep practicing. Look at khanacademy videos and other online 'how to' videos so you can see examples and learn by doing.

Idk practice makes perfect.. You're probly just out of the loop in thinking in mathematical terms you just need to practice more
