i want to start working...im seriously concidering dropping out of college its not forme.. i cant do it, all i do is miss class all the time, everything is so frustrating :(

Meg, I think that you put way too much pressure on yourself with the full load.
Perhaps you could just try one class at a time?
Maybe you need some time to think about all of this, you are young and have lots of time to get your priorites figured out,
I have faith that you will make things work for you if you want them to.

its SO much at once, but I'm thinking of how overwhelming years and years of schooling is, and i say why is it worth it? lots of people dont go to college and make tons of money and have wonderful lives, im 18 and have $2.16 in my bank account...my parents pay for everything and i feel like maybe working everyday would be better then school...i can always go back and take classes i need, but i cant do it now i need time to actually be stable enough to handle what is going on and then when im at that point i can slowly bring school back into the picture.

Meg my sparrow,
some times we have such loads and our shoulders.
If you still like school, maybe like I did take 2 classes and maybe they can be online.

It is not the end to drop out of school for now. gee I was 5o when I went back and finished my degree.
The part I do want you to consider is working sometimes with the job you choose can be more pressure. You need to meet standards of others. Where in college you can be a kid, the classes are about an hour lond 2-3 days a week. Maybe get a job at school.

Then you are with your peers. There has to be better medication management before you can get any of this done though. I am seeing that. Without my meds being adjusted by a psych better, then what the PC gave me I just about function.

I stall seeing the doc and taking more meds wanting to do it myself, mentally overcome my challanges and predictiments. I Can't.......
I just don't know that I want more meds.....why can't I just have a nice life and not get trumatised to need meds?

But gosh you are so young, just do something to please yourself, not reduce your burden to help others. Talk about it with your Aunt, and a school counselor.
Hugs to you luv

Meg,
Talk to us.
Usually, talking to other people can help.

Meg

You need to just take your time, and figure out what classes you need.

Maybe one or two at a time. I know my son did this a semester or
two and he did great this way.
