To start, I am currently enrolled in one school (I absolutely hate it here) I really want to transfer. But I have a hold on my account. The only reason I am here, is because my mother forced it on me. I was willing to go CC and transfer from there to a 4 year institution but she was not having it. There’s nothing I like about it here, I was hoping I could get some of the college experience here. But I haven’t. I have no friends, the work load is daunting. I am doing stupid classes. I still want to transfer to CC then to a 4 year out of state university. But as I was doing my research most scholarships, for a 4 year university from CC only want candidates that was a CCS from freshman year on. So I messed up big time. My major is IT or CS (current school doesn’t have it) I’m not even looking forward to the future anymore, everyone I know is away doing there own things and happy. I am miserable. I have to do my FWS next semester everything is overwhelming and I just want to drop out. I am completely done. What should I do? Then exams are coming up and I’m not no where near ready. I have no motivation to get my work done, it’s gotten so bad that the only way I sleep at night is with the help of an aid. Every time I log on to an electronic device I always wound up looking at other schools, and I never get my work done. And if it’s completed its the bare minimum. I don’t know what to do. One part of me wants to take a break, and figure it out. Another is like you’re here might as well finish what you started. Mind you I just finished crying like 9 seconds before I wrote this.

It sounds like you could really use a break. I know that you are afraid of disappointing your parents, but speaking as a parent myself, as well as an educator, nobody wants to see you do permanent damage to your academic record, or your psyche.
You need to see two people: first, see an academic counselor about how to best finish out your current work that you are already committed to, and see whether you can take a leave of absence, medical leave, mental health break, or other form of gap time in order to assess your situation.
The second person you need to talk to is a counselor at your school’s student services, health services, or psychiatric services department. Do not be put off by the idea of seeing a professional counselor. College life is stressful: there is a reason that most universities have formal psychiatric assistance on hand for students.
Please trust me on this. You are not alone, you are not the only one that feels like this, and there is help available to you.
