Also my first year of college, and about 5 weeks into my first semester, I had a serious nervous breakdown. This prompted the whole therapy part of my life. The only way I got through it was relying on my advisor, and later my therapist. You must tell your teachers, advisors, anyone who is there to help you what is going on. I have found that they are so very helpful and caring and understanding. For the most part, their job is to help you succeed. Also, see if your school has a disability resource center. Don't get freaked out by the name, our school's center is very accomodating that if you are having any emotional issues, you can work with them to make sure that your school demands are not compromising your ability to cope. Ask for help, there is no problem with it, I hope things go well for you .
