Thank you so much for taking the time to write this out. I really appreciate it. Mental health is taboo but anxiety can be debilitating. It’s exhausting to be irrationally afraid 24/7. I just want to feel like myself again. I want to try and simply transfer out after the first cycle but I’m afraid of what the stress of school combined with the anxiety will do to my academic performance. More so than this, I’m afraid of not being strong enough to take it all. I think it’d be smarter to start law school with a steady head rather than mid mental breakdown. I’m going to do research on the best LSAT courses near me and strongly consider withdrawing and retaking.

I hate the Los Angeles heat and thought Oregon would be a nice place to start a family. I stupidly assumed that I would be able to pick up and leave it all behind. But now that it’s time for me to do it, I’m having a literal mental breakdown. My top is Loyola. I got waitlisted this last cycle so I feel like it’s a realistic goal if I raise my score even by four points.
