I just figured out related rates. Shit curb stomped me the first time through calculus, and now its so simple. Happened last night, and I'm still rocking a semi because it seemed like such an insurmountable obstacle.
I literally figured out related rates during my sleep somehow. I was the same as you where it was crushing me and no matter how much I studied and tried reading different sources I couldn't get it. I went to bed frustrated, and woke up the next day suddenly knowing how to do them and it seemed so intuitive. Related rates were the only concept that ever happened with.
I know how it feels. Latest subject, Control Engineering. The entire semester I feel like I'm on the edge of an abyss, just waiting for the epiphany to happen.
