Hi, I know how depressing it is to feel as though you're not
functioning. I work fulltime but I am fortunate in that I can work from
a home office so...I can utilize my comfort measures on days that I'm
not feeling well. As far as college, have you considered at least
getting started by taking an online course? Alot of colleges, even local
community colleges, offer online courses. Might be a way for you to
accomplish something at your own pace and in a comfortable setting. Hope
this helps. Take care.
