[QUOTE]Originally posted by Obi: [QB] I'm not sure if this helps or not, but you're not alone. I think it's fairly normal to be a little uncertain when a major change like going to college comes about. Personally (compounded due having bipolar disorder), I struggled a lot in the beginning to find my comfort zone. It can take a while, but taking even small steps can help. No one says you have to try everything at once. I assume there are at least some clubs or other regular activities or volunteering at your school. If you're up for it, it might help to pick something, try it once or twice, and then if it's not for you that's not a failing, just a mismatch. If the first doesn't work out, try something else. Of course this is rather simplified. I know for myself it was hard to get involved in the beginning and I skipped a lot of things that sounded interesting. Definitely I know that was a lot of my illness speaking, but I've heard it from fellow students that it's not unusual whether there's something underlying or not. Certainly, most colleges/universities have some form of counseling center. You don't have to have a 'major' issue (such as depression, major personal problems, etc.) My school's counseling center is always reminding people that they can help with nearly anything you want to talk about or want more advice about in school. And if you have friends or such, talking them over together might help as well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
