I have to wonder why you are planning to do full IB. To me this seems like a lot of stress for relatively minor or no gain. You can get into many very good universities with only a handful of AP classes and no IB, or even with no AP classes. I think that you should seriously consider taking an easier load this upcoming school year (or at least easier than full IB). You do not need IB at all to get into The Ohio State University, or other good schools.

Also, I think that you should be evaluated for depression. The time to do this is as soon as possible. The medical profession has gotten a lot better about dealing with depression. Many very highly intelligent and very highly capable people have suffered from depression. Doctors can help you a lot in most cases.
