I am in a way, one worry at a time. I process one, then another one crops up. I am very worried about her going out on her own. I am very worried about her attempting college again (she took a medical withdrawal last fall since she was in the hospital 29 days). I think it's all going to happen this fall, college and moving, but I'm not sure she's ready for either. She has a habit of overbooking herself and when she struggles she won't ask for help. I'd feel better about it if her depression was in remission.

I really want her to get out on her own and be independent, I just want her to be safe doing it.
