Hello everyone, in my last post here I asked a question about whether I should drop out of college or not and well my decision ended up being that I would major in Welding. Well unfortunately, the counselor said that he will change the degree as long I pass this year but the same problem keeps occurring every semester. The problem is that I keep having transportation issues because 1.) I don't have a car and usually have to ride a bike over there which takes 2 hrs back and forth, 2.) Every time a person promises to help me get there they either burnout after a amount of time or they charge an high price for gas money which I cannot afford, or 3.) I have to pay an even higher price just to get there. Well it turns out that a friend of mine was giving me a ride for awhile and all of an sudden told me she is not giving me a ride for a week which I had to drop out of two honors classes because of what happened which caused me to feel frustrated. I know she's angry at me but because of my disability I am not always aware of my actions or how they feel. I did get better at reading emotions and body language most of the time but in some cases I am not able to do it. I also know that some personal issues were causing my friend problems which she ended up neglecting her household because of the stress she was going through. I feel like she is taking it out on me and right now I feel terrible because of having to drop the courses. I also feel disgusted with both the college and the people who promised to give me a ride but never did and am really starting to hate them. I will admit that there were some days where I ended up staying home because I just did not want to put up with this crap they put me through and that there were other times that I felt so overwhelmed because of the daily activities they pushed me to do. I feel like screaming at these people and wish I could knock some sense into them because I feel like they treat me like dirt. Right now I feel horrible and just want to quit. What should I do? Should I just transfer to another school? Should I get a full-time job so I can earn the money for a car? Or should I do something else? I am going to also admit that I have been feeling depressed on some days and did not go at all which I even missed work. I am not suicidal yet but I want to do something before that even happens. Please help!!

Could you transfer to a school closer to your home? You could also look into going to a technical school that can teach you how to weld and give you the necessary certifications instead of a degree. I'm sorry that you're going through this. It sucks to have people you call "friends" back out on you when you need them. :/
