[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't stop going to school. You are mot likely asking advice from people who don't even understand junior college.

1) make sure you follow up with your doctor.
2) continue working
3) take classes ... Even if it is 1 or 2 at a time
4) go to see the counselor at you college for advice

Good luck, there are lots of people that have mental illness that are not lost causes. [/quote]

Going to school is obviously not working for OP right now. Therefore, he needs to do something differently.

I think the advice has been very thoughtful and spot on.[/quote]

I disagree ... My H had a 2.0 in college for various reasons, then he got a 4.0 in graduate school and is an expert at his field.

Most people on this site never had to deal with failure and are not actually qualified to give advise.

On a previous thread advise given to a mother who's son had a 3.0 was that college was not for everybody and he could do heating and air conditioning, really?

The OP is not a failure and can graduate from college, giving up is not the answer.[/quote]

Okay, the advice to the mother of the child with the 3.0 was ridiculous. I will give you that. (By the way, which thread was that. I'd love to read it for a Sunday morning laugh.)

But I must ask: Did you H have a 2.0 at the age of 21 and several failed classes? Was he struggling with mental illness?

He suffered from severe anxiety and procrastination is a symptom of anxiety, it also feeds the anxiety. He graduated with a 2.0 and it took 6 years to graduate so... I am guessing he started when he was 18 and graduated at 23.

My brother who had sever anxiety gave up his full scholarship at Duke ... Dropped out, moved to a smaller college and graduated when he was 28, went to law school and graduated #1 in his class.

I think it is a much dire situation to find yourself at 28 with 60 more credits to go... That is too much. It is harder to start again when you stop. Even if it is only 1 class just do it.[/quote]
