So maybe to help you understand...I actually still did get a “degree”, it just wasn’t a PhD or Masters. What my program did for me was give me certifications to prove my knowledge in GIS and Remote Sensing, and hopefully this can be used for competence in jobs using map-making tools and satellite reading applications. I did finish, despite the lack of advisors who knew anything about my curriculum and required classes Sorry if this was confusing the first go around.

I did see 2 therapists when I lived in town, but the first one was very unprofessional both in keeping her appointments and with her advice she gave. The other I liked much better and almost became a friend because of the time span I saw her but our conversations often didn’t address more crucial topics I wanted to resolve. So you could say I haven’t had much success with counseling, but since I’m jobless right now and still connected to a lot of my family’s financial plans and such, I don’t know if counseling is all that practical (or even helpful) given my current phase.
