Hi all,
I'm coming back to school to get a degree after dropping out during COVID and I'm feeling extremely nervous, I really struggled and worried I'll crash and burn again. I'm in a much better place than before with a stable home life, did therapy and got medicated for my depression and built a support network, but I'm still stressing like crazy.
I also met with my advisor for the first time this last week and it's only made me more worried? I get the advisor is probably busy and maybe a little burned out but telling me that CS & IA is very hard and that I'II probably drop out/change programs feels counter productive? It's made start to spiral a little bit. Add to that that I had over 100 semester credits transferred in and only 36 are transferable/applicable to the new course of study.
All of this has me feeling very overwhelmed and I’m trying really hard to keep my cool and not panic. Any advice or tips would really be appreciated.
