Elle, I think I forgot to mention that I dropped out of undergrad after 3 semesters and went to work full time. Ironically, it was because I did not want to be in school as long as it would take to become a doctor. Look at me now! I'm in my thirties, and am working on what some could consider my third career. Some may view this as scattered, and many at times have seemed to judge me for being a "drop-out", but I view my educational choices as a long and winding path. It has really shaped who I am now, (or perhaps vice versa???).

What I am rambling on and trying to say is this: who cares if you do not do things the "traditional way"? So what if it takes longer to graduate? Do what's best for you. We are all dynamic beings who change, grow, and adapt throughout our lives. I never thought I would become a psychologist, but at this point, it feels exactly right for me. Who knows if that will hold true when I am 60?

Specific advice time: Can you talk to your professors and give them some idea of what you are going through? Or perhaps have your T contact them. There's nothing wrong with having their support too. They may be able to adapt assignments or give you an incomplete to give you the time you need to get better.

Take care,
gg
