What's a really big thing to you isn't so big to other people. Because it's about you, you will totally focus on it. It's probably a little thing to them, if they even think about it, as they have so much going on in their lives, so many people, so many things. Your mind will build this up into having more importance than it really does.

When you do go back to school, whenever that is, just take a series of big, deep breaths, and tell yourself, "I'm OK. I can do this." Once you get the original effort made of going back, everything will go back to pretty normal again, I'll bet.

But I would encourage you to take Lee's advice and see if you can delay going back to school till you feel a little stronger. See if your parents will get you to an out-patient therapist.

Take care!
