Woah, I will definitely try this. However, I think what's holding me back is that I keep thinking that "my education is important" and since I know it's important to read and educate myself, my anxiety goes up super high and I can't learn the information in the ebooks I read.
I have another suggestion.
Forget the words "education is important".
Your education is nothing more than what you get out of it.
Now go to your college main desk and ask to speak to the "special population" counselor.

Thank you, sir!

Do you want me to be thinking before I read a book "Your education is nothing more than what you get out of it."

The most important thing you can do is prioritize. Pick two or three books that you really want to get something out of and read them multiple times. This will reduce the panic of having to get something out of it the first time because you don't have to.

For the college books, highlight and make notes. Physically write out (no typing on the computer or copy pasting) the important stuff. Nothing beats whatever is going on in the brain through the process of writing when it comes to remembering things.

There Are No Girls On The Internet.

Are there really people who haven't heard that meme yet?

I've been online since before the World Wide Web, and I've never heard of that meme...maybe because I'm a girl?

Wow, really? So handwriting my notes is that important for the process of remembering things?
