I’m here because I’ve been having trouble sleeping. I drink a lot of energy drinks to help me work all day and then take night classes at NYU. I find it hard to focus at work and on my homework reading assignments. Because of my lack of focus, I’ve been scoring low on a few assignments. This causes me a lot of anxiety because I need to graduate soon. I have many financial aid loans out. I’m not used to dealing with failure. I grew up in a poor family that stressed success in school, sports, and career. I’m the oldest of three and feel obligated to succeed. Both our parents are now college professors after struggling through racism and poverty all their lives. Their success motivates me. The stress from work and school made me lash out at my boss, the principal at the school where I work.I felt badly about what happened. I haven’t been very social lately. I stay home most weekends doing homework. My boss told me to make an appointment here. I’d like help in time management skills, coping with stress and anxiety, and focus.

Any Family History of Mental Illness: Not myself, but my mother suffered from depression, but she’s on meds now.
