Emotional support? Thank you for yours!
Not sure about how I would get it from the college, I hide my problems
because I don't want anyone to know of course.
Yes, I'm seeing a therapist. The last bit of advice she gave me was that I prob. won't get any kind of disability. She also said that more than likely I'd have to work a full time job and go to school. She suggested that I just do one or 2 courses a semester.
I told her that I don't want to be in school for a really long time. Preferably, I'd be able to focus on school and put forth enough effort so I wouldn't be going for years. She told me that a lot of people have to work one or even two jobs while going to school. She pointed out that she did it too.
Maybe it's my reactionary attitude, but I didn't find anything in what she said helpful at all. I was still lost as to what the hell I should do.
