<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I'm a rising junior at Boston College. While it's a great school and I'm happy here for the most part, I've had some psychological issues that have really killed my academic progress. Granted, these issues always affected me, but I was afraid to speak up before college (as I falsely thought people would think I was "crazy" if I told them about my anxiety and such). Only now am I brave enough to seek professional help. (The issues are described in the "LD" forum here.)</p>
<p>But now I'm stuck in a rut. 2.7 GPA, 2.3 sGPA (yes, pre-med...). Yuck. I constantly feel ashamed, even though this wasn't really my fault.</p>
<p>Biology major, by the way.</p>
<p>I've always loved sciences, and I've wanted (not always that enthusiastically) to go to medical school, but I'm losing my enthusiasm as I'm trying to decide just what the heck I should do. Do I REALLY want to go into medicine anyway?</p>
<p>Sigh...</p>
<p>I've never had a strong preference, career-wise, anyway. I can't decide what I REALLY want to do. But I really want to get at least some type of graduate degree.</p>
<p>I always feel humiliated, as if I'll be stuck in mediocre jobs for the rest of my life.</p>
<p>A feeling of "purgatory"...</p>
<p>I'm seeking professional help, and I'm ready to take this on. How will I ever get out of this?</p>
<p>Give me some advice for how to go on with my life!</p>
