I'm nearing the end of spring semester, and we only get a week off before summer semester.
I've been feeling rather burned-out from classes this semester. I know I'm experiencing a bit of depression. The depression is one of the things keeping me from reaching out to my classmates. I know that would be helpful socially and academically.
I don't have enough free time to do more shadowing to recharge enthusiasm about OT, and I'm already seeing a counselor about the depression. I'm considering taking a year off from school, but I would have to work full-time to support my living expenses, and I don't know how quickly I could get a job. I might be viewed as overqualified for some jobs, and in others I'd be asked why I left OT school and was I going back.
If you needed to recharge and hit the ground running for a following semester in very little time, what would you do?
