Wow, this outpouring of support is more than I anticipated. It means a lot! As for my appointment today - the counselor determined that I qualify for an outpatient program at Hazeldon - a care center. Is it four days a week during evenings, and she said if I stick to that, she sees no reason why I couldn't leave for Chile in 2 months. In comparison to my parents, it seems like no one else thinks it's quite as severe as they do. Either way, I'm grateful to have the chance for help early on. I'm almost even excited to meet people my age who also struggle.
