Very sorry you're going through all this, Smith_L... my heart is with you!

I think it would help tremendously if you could just talk to an impartial party about your feelings - just someone who could listen. Since you're 22, you should still be covered under your parents' health insurance (assuming they have some). If not, you might try making a few phone calls to local counselors/therapists. Often, they will offer a sliding scale for cheaper fees for those who don't have health coverage or who make below a set income.

Regarding the college credits, I completely understand your frustration... I went to three universities (in three different states), accumulating for 7 years, and none of them would accept my credits from the other universities.

I, too, struggled for years to meet new people & make new friends. I finally decided to not try so hard or force the issue & just joined in activities that I enjoyed (mostly music, both going to concerts & writing/playing music). Meeting people with the same interests followed naturally...

Don't know if any of this helped, but if not, I hope you can find the answers you need soon...
