Lexi, of course I don't know you well at all...but what you just did: assess yourself, sounds pretty good to me. Depression can cause us to not feel able to perform many tasks... studying, bill paying, and such things that require concentration.

Are you in therapy for your depression? Even if you are not your physical age, mentally, there are plenty of things to learn and do to help you compensate for any lack you might have. If you are doing well in any of those higher courses, then I think you are selling yourself short to hand over your affairs to your parents. Not legally anyway. But that's just my POV right now...

Why not figure out where you really do need help? A good therapist can help you, or maybe from those tests you took, you can find what areas you just don't do well in... planning or stuff like that???

THEN, see if you can get your parents to just help you in those areas, not take over your whole life. I have to hire ppl to help me where I can no longer function...mostly areas of physical activity, due to my disability. Your disability is different from mine, but you can still find other ways to live, without giving it all over to someone else.

I have to use lists!! TONS AND TONS OF LISTS.. well, not really... but I have to make a list or two and then keep one of them in the same place all the time... when I'm highly stressed, I can't seem to find anything I need... and if things are where I'm used to them being when I 'm not stressed, then I can find them. I carry the other list with me, to remind me while I'm out and about, what I need to do. (Though sometimes when very stressed, it doesn't get done either.)

I try to keep my wardrobe simple, so things go together well when I'm in too much pain to stand in the closet and try to decide what to wear.

These are just a few of the ways I compensate for my disabilities... maybe you can think of some things that could help you too?

((((hugs)))
