Yeah, I am definitely making an appointment on Monday. I live in suburban Boston which is great since Boston has one of the top anxiety clinics in the country. I'm definitely giving them a call on Monday but I am sooo terrified of having to do this. God, just the idea of having to say all this on the phone is terrifying. But I will do it.

My goal is to get off medical leave and return to college this fall. I just hope that they'll take me back since I haven't been able to get treatment for the past year. My family hasn't had medical insurance since November of 2004 and I haven't been able to pay the high costs of a psychologist/psychiatrist. I just hope they're very understanding of my situation and allow me to come back. I certainly don't want to lose the amazing opportunity to go here.

fayerody, unfortunately my college is very strict about first-year students living on campus but the possibility exists that I would be able to get a single all to myself so that would alleviate a little bit of anxiety.
