Which option should I choose?

I’m thinking to study computer science. However, before I get into college, there are a few requirements. The first being the Psychometric exam (an Israeli exam required to get into college), and the second a math Bagrut exam (also a required exam for computer science). I’m doing the math now because back in school I didn’t do it, so I’m having to do it now.

I’m currently taking courses for both. However, I feel that doing both together is very very stressful. Thus I have 2 options:


Do them both together (despite being stressful) and get into college next year.
Do only one of them and postpone the other for another time and get into college the year after next year.


In addition to all that, I don’t feel psychologically ready for college (I mean to start next year). My psychological condition is bad (diagnosed with Bipolar and OCD), and it has prevented me from starting college earlier. I have also been to a mental hospital twice before.

I’m now almost 21 years old. So postponing college another 2 years means that I will start at almost 23. Should I feel bad about this?

Which option do you think I should choose? To be honest I’m more prone towards the second option.

One more question. Is computer science a good major? I’ve heard it’s hard, but I really like it so much.

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: I don’t know if I posted this in the right section… I hope I did.
