Hi Lauren,
Is the work experience still available to you? If so, go for it, what have you got to lose? I didnt understand what you wrote about why you couldnt do it or missing a chance.
I do understand about not being relevant, my head is pretty much the same. Maybe you could write it down, have a list of stuff to fire at the counsellor. Why was you crying?
Sometimes when you are not feeling ok, the future doesnt look great. Dont Lose Hope about the future. About being behind everyone else. You've not been well, you've got anxiety issues, unfortunately its delayed your progress. I dont know what you want to do in the future. If college is part of that route, then you have to try and accept that it will take as long as it takes. Do you have a plan, are there other options rather than college, will they help you get to where you want to be???
Anyway I hope your feeling better, enjoy your weekend.
