First off, on board with the go to a dr thing. Go to several drs if need be. And, if you have someone you are comfortable with and trust etc who can accommodate it, bring them with you to make sure that two people are keeping track of what the dr is saying and asking questions, especially because that sounds like it might be a problem for you right now.

On the job front--I believe Starbucks, Whole Foods, and I am not sure who else offer benefits to part-time employees. I am not sure how many hours you need to work or how easy it is to get a job there in the current economy and in whatever place you choose to be in, but that might be the best of both worlds, at least for a little while? They are also good jobs to have while being a starving artist because you are likely to have access to free food in the form of things that are past sell-by but not expired, and Whole Foods at least should include vegan things.

One of my big mental health things is that I felt like when I was,/s> am screwing up in school that this will result in people not liking me. There seemed to be factual evidence for this, because when I left and came back I had no friends (everyone I was close with had gone JYA or was on leave). But it was a lie. We don't like you for your wit. Well, ok, we do. BUt in my case at least I was happy to be moving to a city you were in and to get to spend time with you because you are incredibly sweet, because you get very enthusiastic, and because you don't assume that that enthusiasm means I *have* to share it, and because you are a pet person. To name a few things. I know tons of smart people. I am only friends with some of them, you know?
