I understand, too, that you don't want to drag out your schooling too long, but you might try cutting back on your course load, as the counselor suggested. It would be better to do that and be able to get your degree than to keep having to drop out, methinks. You'll just have to see how much you can handle, given your particular challenges. (We all have to do that to some extent, even if it doesn't deal with going to school.) You might consider starting out slowly, anyway, and see how that goes.
