I agree with Gina on dropping classes. A full course load can be so stressful. I dropped a course in my second semester of college because it was way too much to handle (it was an honors course and way too much work). It helped tremendously. Since you are starting a little later in life it might be better to start with one class and work your way up.

Also, if you DO need ip, it is ok to drop the semester and return later. School will always be there. You can go to school as long as you live. But you have to actually keep living.

I dropped out of my special Ed courses twice now and I'm not ashamed. I'm disappointed because I really do want to get my certification but I just can't handle it right now and there's no shame in that.

Good luck, I hope you find some relief.
