[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 553545"] I am sorry you're hurting. Yes, you messed up BUT you still have things you could do. Try to find a really good therapist to help you process everything. I had one that REALLY helped. I can see where you're parents are coming from. They have bent over backwards for you and feel you're ungrateful. They have tried to "motivate" you to do the right thing and have stuck by you longer than many parents have/would. medications may or may not be the answer. Drugs are NOT the answer. They help you "cope" for a little while but at a very high cost. Give up on college for now ..... withdraw for now. A W does look MUCH better than F's. You can always go back some day but first, you have to get your mind in the right place. You're parents obviously haven't written you off yet and they may not if you try to change things. Hospitals don't always help and rehab will only work if you REALLY want it to. It's up to you. {{{{HUGS}}}} to you. Asking for help, even here, is a great step. Seriously find a good therapist....if you want things to get better. A good one can help immensely. [/QUOTE]
