    University Problem: Arriving on Time

    Thanks all for your responses! To @Mattymatt , the problem is that I am committed! I am trying to make good habits. I have the schedules printed and posted. I have the alarms. It just seems like it never works and I am very confused. For the most part I do not think that I am doing anything...

    University Problem: Arriving on Time

    Institutional Harshness: harsh I'd like to be employed after college and I am also really concerned that if this keeps up (its definitely happened before) I'm going to struggle to maintain a job. Any insight?

    University Problem: Arriving on Time

    @Rich Allen Thanks for your reply, but what do I ask for? I dont even know what to say. Potential thing to tell my dean: "Oh I am late to class a lot and show up crying and get overwhelmed that I cant sit in this one particular chair". That doesnt sound very coherent or honorable. I think in...

    Panic attack or social meltdown?

    Thank you. I appreciate all of the comments, especially the one with a distinction between frustration and panic. I had studied for 18 hours over the weekend for a chem midterm including reading all of the texts reading a high school chem book and how it explained the same topics did two...

    Panic attack or social meltdown?

    I've always referred to the instances where I get really upset and cry a lot as emotional meltdowns but yesterday a professor of mine said I was having a panic attack. What's the difference?

    Help me think of an oldies song?

    I talked to my mom and she said we didn't listen to oldies music then. I was certain I did at the time and she wasn't around to know but what if the song was not oldies? It could basically be anything then.

    Help me think of an oldies song?

    All good songs. So far the song that "feels" the closest is ETA: "feel" like the pace and energy of it. I think it was a song about getting up or leaving the house to do some activity. It may have involved counting or references to numbers.

    Help me think of an oldies song?

    Thanks for tips. I have done Google searches and listened to a lot of music but I have no idea what the song was (although I'd hope that I would recognize it if I heard it) which makes it difficult. I was 9-11 years old at the time any my other favorite song was Sweet Pea by Tommy Roe (). The...

    Help me think of an oldies song?

    I know oldies can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, but a few years ago I remember listening to a song on the oldies radio station in the morning when my alarm (the radio) played. It my mind it was something about a train or car and upbeat. Maybe someone was going somewhere? It might...

    Diagnosis question

    Thanks all for the welcome messages. To talk to her I'd have to call and I don't like calling people :(. She had me fill out a "Brown questionnaire" about my family and school experiences which has turned into a 15 page document. I sent this to her online but she hasn't brought it up. Its...

    Diagnosis question

    Hello. I'm a new member (age 18) and in the process of getting a diagnosis if applicable. Today the woman I am working with said "hmmm. Let me count up your points and we'll see if you should come in again." I was confused. Does this mean I am closer to being finished or she doesn't think I...
