[quote=Anonymous]My dh and I were both college drop outs.  I had gotten in the habit of skipping class/not studying and doing half azzed, last second work on my assignments.  Why?  I was out having fun, drinking, hanging out with friends, falling in love, going on hikes, tubing down rivers, taking impromptu road trips to the beach.  I loved the freedom of college although I didn't always make wise choices.

After I flunked out, I went back to live at my parents' house. I got a full time job and saved every penny that I earned so that I could move out soon and get my own place.

I'm sharing this story as a contrast to what your daughter is dealing with now.  She has apparently flunked out of school because she was not motivated to study, do her coursework or go to class. It doesn't sound as though she was doing much of anything while she was away at school.  She is now at home staying in the spare bedroom and she is not even motivated to look for work much less get a full time job.  She does sound depressed, Op.

I hope she sees a doctor soon.
