You're welcome. I think the schools do have counselors for personal problems as well as for guidance about courses, etc. But I don't know anything about your particular school. I just think you do need to talk to somebody. I'm concerned about your depression...

I was sort of kidding about the psychology. I know that there are some people (weird, though they may be--hah!) who just don't get into psychology. Yes, some texts can be dry and unengaging. I'm sorry to hear that your psych text is that way.

I agree that you might want to try stepping back a bit after this term to see what is happening with you. Like, is it the school you're going to, are you just not "into" school right now and maybe need to work a while--or what? I do think we do young adults a disservice by expecting them to always go right from high school to college. Some folks just need a break from the school environment for awhile! (Let's hope your mom understands, if you decide to try this route...)

Please keep us updated! We care!
