[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20-year-old college student is home this weekend from school out of state.

We both agree she could benefit from speaking with a therapist. Issues are lack of ability to focus, feelings of overwhelm; spacing out in class; and difficulty making decisions and planning. This is very sudden - usually she's got fantastic executive functioning skills. [/quote]

Those are symptoms of stress being much much higher than normal.  Do go with your gut.

College therapists are better than no therapy, but are unlikely to be what she really needs.

Bottom line right now is she needs a much better support system and very likely needs to separate from that problematic roommate.

If she is living in college housing, rather than in a leased commercial apartment, then explore if she would consider changing dorms to get away from problematic roommate.  Roommate issues are much more common than many realize and often are more severe than many realize; it can be extremely high stress to have to live with a problematic roommate. Colleges usually will have a process for students to switch dorms/suites in situations like DD's. [/quote]
