hi hello. i'm eighteen. uh. 7 years ... sort of housebound. 'dropped' out of school a long time ago. couldn't deal. still can't. a system veteran, i guess. seven years in and out of emergency rooms. diagnosed borderline, social anxiety, major depression. so far. uh. anxiety has been my biggest problem. can't be a part of things. don't remember a day that i used to be. i'm sort of desperate to finish school. i want to go to university but the anxiety has always... gotten in the way. just finished a long psych program half inpatient. it's been bullshit. it's being told that eventually i have to just 'do' it that pisses me off. 'do' what? i would have done 'it' had i been able to seven years ago. wasted a lot of time, i guess. anyway hi. hello. that was probably not a good introduction. sorry.

Hey, proust. Take the time to read people's posts here. I dunno if you'll find anyone with whom to relate or they you, but maybe you don't have to go through this alone. Welcome to the site. :)

Hi Proust,
Welcome to the group! I am a new group member as well. I just joined last night.
I'm sorry you had such a difficult time attending college. I relate as I had trouble finishing college as well. It took me almost 6 years instead of 4. My social anxiety and depression kept interfering with my ability to go to class and finish classes. I ended dropping many classes (classes I had good grades in) and retake them later when I was more stable. It was difficult journey for me but I finally finished and know you can too. Don't stress about falling behind, just go at a slow and steady pace, eventually you'll get to the end. Have you considered trying to complete school online if you're unable to do it in person?
