<p>What I’d like to see you do is print off this message and hand it to your mom. I’m sure there are many people in your life who love you and want you to enjoy your college experience and start feeling better and help you figure out what you want to do. If they knew how it was making you feel they probably would stop immediately and try and get you feeling better.</p>
<p>If you don’t know where to start, call your pediatrician you had growing up. They can point you in the right direction.</p>
<p>You aren’t the first person in the world to feel like this, and you know if they have commercials on tv for all these meds there must be something to it. I know it will be scary to start taking steps to get help, but I’m also guessing it will be an enormous relief. </p>
<p>You obviously have a lot going for you and a bright future. It’s completely normal to not have it all figured out yet! </p>
<p>Please start today and tell your parents you need some help.</p>
