What do you mean you're losing your dreams?
And what do you mean you want us to advise you to learn? Do you mean you want help with your math classes or homework? If that's the case I would suggest talking with your teacher and seeing if you can find a tutor.
Also, please do not use all caps. Not only does it make your post difficult to read, it's also considered the equivalent of yelling in text and rude.

That wouldn't be good enough. You need to have a broad background in many subjects if you plan to become a therapist or psychiatrist or psychologist.

Well what subjects are you interested in? And why have you begun hating all the other subjects you used to be interested in?

If you become a psych professional, you will be talking with people from all walks of life, so you must be able to manage well. That's why you need the broad background.
Math in psych is called statistics -- figuring out and understanding all sort of research involving patients/clients and various situations/scenarios.

I'm interested in chemistry biology and physics but not in maths , maths is very difficult for me I was planing to drop it out next year .
So the reason why is I found them quite boring , all I used like before were all about doctor and medicines

Well, unfortunately all of the sciences- chemistry, biology, and physics- all require a good deal of math. Math is hard for a lot of people. But if you're interested in studying any of the sciences, I suggest you stick with math and just keep studying hard.

But... but math is fun! :(
May I ask why you hate math so much? Is it a teacher issue? In any case, if you need help in any of biology, chemistry, physics or math, I'll be glad to help you. And in case I'm not here in time, there are other people around ready to help :)

No there's no any issue with the teacher , but I found it quite hard I know myself if I try I can , but I was planning to take a subject that does not need maths in the UNIVERSITY . So my "Q " is can tell any subject that there's no math ?

Well, as the others already told you, many subjects require some facet of maths or another. I think only the languages don't require maths. Others include statistics if there is no pure maths involved.
Physics, of all three subjects you like carries the most maths. In some of my physics classes, there were even some point where the maths you know had to be pushed further (in calculus and trigonometry for instance). Chemistry you get some algebra while I didn't do Biology as much as Physics and Chemistry, there are some algebra and statistics.

So I should study hard with maths ?

Knowing the basics in maths cannot hurt, but on the contrary, might help you a lot!
Can I ask you what you exactly you find hard in maths? What is the chapter you would pick if you were asked to pick the worst one? And similarly, the one you dislike the least in math?

Triangles and those kind of stuffs .
But algebra is kind of easy for me . :)

So, you don't like general geometry? Good news, Chemistry and biology don't use those. Physics however, involve a lot of those...
So... Wondergirl's subject lists would suit you well. If you like the sciences and do get very good results, you will be able to handle practically any subject without too much trouble :)
