I think I may have overestimated my abilities to take 18 credits and work 30 hours a week during the summer. I'm having a tough time finding the motivation to go to class now. I love the classes, but lately i've been so depressed that I don't want to go anymore.

Advice would be much appreciated

Holy crap that's a lot of credits. I couldn't deal with that and I don't even work! I guess just try your best. What's your goal? To get a certain degree or something? Keep your mind on your goal, give yourself a reward for getting through it, that may keep you going too. Good luck!

That is a lot of class credits for a shorter period of time. Can you still withdraw from some of them without penalty. How many classes is that? 5 or 6 classes? I'd pull out of some of those.

My goal is to open my own place in the future. Right now I don't have any time for myself, and it's driving me crazy.

I'm assuming you are doing two summer semesters of 9 hours each? Drop down to 6 credit hours/summer session. 9 is a really heavy load for a summer semester. I've done it, but it was difficult. I can't imagine trying to do two summer semesters with that heavy a load. Drop a class or two.
Thanks for this!
