Hello,
A year and a half ago I enrolled in several college correspondence courses and ended with finishing only one of my five classes. I received perfect scores on all my subjects, but I struggled with a phobia of tests and a lack of consuming interest in all but one of my studies. Consequently, I fell into a chasm of depression at the completion of my first semester. My parents wanted me to be hospitalized in fear that I would lose my life, however, the thought of stagnating in a hospital room made me so terrified that I completely refused. As a result I was forced to quit most of my classes and spent the rest of the year playing my violin and completing my Ancient History course. I am now 21 and have been told that I am an Aspie by one of the many doctors I have seen. Although it helps to know why I am this way, I still have not returned to college and have no idea what career I want and feel like I am floundering.
