As is typical of me, I've over-committed myself this semester. I am taking a full load of classes, plus two part time jobs and a part time internship! Also a freelance job and taking piano lessons. I signed up for most of these things while hypo, now I'm depressed and I don't think I can handle it.
I've been kicking around the idea of dropping one class to lighten my load, but I have always been a very good student and the idea of taking less than a full semester is making me feel like a total failure.
I know it's probably the right thing to do to stay sane but I just can't seem to make myself drop the class

If dropping the class bothers you too much what about the freelance or the piano lessons? Would one of those be easier for you to give up? If you dropped the class could you make it up online at some other time when you aren't so busy?

And you aren't a failure if you don't take a full class load. Knowing what's in your best interest and doing it is never a failure

If you get financial aid dropping a class so you're less then full time will effect your aid package.

If I dropped a class I would go from 16 hours to 13 hours, I just have to be above 12 to stay full time and keep my financial aid. Thanks for the tip
