<p>So here's the issue. I have recently fallen off. My mental health/stability has plummeted. I am not doing well. The cause? So much. It is really hard to explain. I don't understand it. But I have had family problems basically entire life, and they have progressively gotten worse. This year is a disaster as far as family goes. My parents and I don't talk. It is hard to get by. God it is hard. And now I have college applications, a rigorous school schedule, family problems, and my life, and it is all too overwhelming.</p>
<p>This second semester my grades are correlating. I am finding it incredibly difficult to do anything what so ever. I am tired.</p>
<p>And I am trying to save myself. I cannot afford a rescinded application. College is my escape. </p>
<p>Here are the options I have in front of my, and discussed with my counselled. </p>
<h1>1: Change into a college connection program for second semester. I would take classes at a local community college. I would have much more free time. I could collect myself, and I could get a job. I desperately need a job. Money is tight at home, and my parents don't like giving me any. There is still a work load, but I think I could handle it.</h1>
<h1>2: Drop a few of my classes, making my schedule easier. I could probably find time for a job too, although I wouldn't have as much free time than option one.</h1>
<h1>3: Stick to what I am doing and become a nutcase. Hopefully pass my classes.</h1>
<p>Here's the problem with all these. They all have a negative impact on my application chances. If I make a change I must notify the colleges, or risk my application being rescinded at the end of the year. I hate all of this. I have worked so hard for 4 years. Too hard to lower my chances now. I'm not sure how big of a risk it is to not notify the colleges and risk a rescinded application, but this isn't good either.</p>
<p>What do I do?</p>
