[QUOTE="DDD, post: 412672, member: 35"] You've made a huge first step in reaching out for guidance. Congrats! Do your parents have health insurance? If so, you have a course of action available. I have a Granddaughter who empowered herself by making an appointment with a therapist and went to counseling on her own. She did not have your issues but she was an A student who "in her gut" knew that she had problems that could prevent her from functioning at her best. Although she was not confrontational she had fears that she was not comfortable sharing. In her case after a few talk sessions she was referred to a psychiatrist who prescribed a medication that did the trick. In some cases just talking about your concerns with someone really helps. Sometimes you can learn of a way to improve your executive functioning skills as well. If you have, which it appears you do, a working relationship with at least one parent then share that you feel like you need a little help and want to consult a professional. Probably your parent will be delighted that you are attemtping to improve your life...which, lol, will improve their lives too. Good luck. You're a smart cookie! DDD [/QUOTE]
