Thanx to all who have replied, I really appreciate it.
Just to clarify a few things that have come up in the replies:I am at a small, private, liberal arts college and I am seeing a therapist on campus.
As odd as it sounds, I have always tested negative for ADD, though I do have another learning disabilty--mainly, slow processing (i.e. it takes me a REALLY long time to read, complete exams, etc.), and I get extra time on exams because of this. Also, I wasn't being treated for depression, I was originally being treated for OCD, but have since been told that I do not have that, but that I do have dysthymia and adjustment disorder.
After getting the first "retroactive" health leave, my parents kind of, unintentionally of course, started making me feel kind of guilty that I had, in essence, wasted an entire semester (and they had, therefore, wasted A LOT of money).
Also, along with feeling "down" and just kind of "blah" (which actually kind of goes away when I'm around people, like in class or just in a room with a lot of people), I have been feeling kind of "spacey"....it's hard to describe, it's not quite dizzy or light-headed, kind of like "zoning out"?, I don't know....I notice it more when I'm standing up or walking around.
Thanx again to all!
