While it’s at a low point, I’m afraid that when I go to college next year, with the added stress of living in a new place, away from home for the first time, with strangers, and so many pressures, that it’ll come back full force – or even worse than before. I don’t want this to make college unbearable. Thank you. It actually was a relief to write this down.
