It's common to experience bouts of depression, and anxiety, withdrawal and feelings related to feeling other as you transition to college, or even if you've been there a while. People with ADHD and Autism really start to feel challenged during college. Everything from perfectionism to motivation issues can be triggered. And there is a strong undercurrent of social anxiety in our culture, which can also feel isolating. At Build The Self, we meet in person and online. We like to talk about how you're feeling and think with you about ways you can feel like more part of your community. We listen keenly to your concerns and help you understand them better through exploration, which often provides a decent amount of relief. Give us a call if you're having some trouble. We'd love to help.
