The suggestion of taking a leave of absence or time off, is not a bad one at all. To be honest, I felt giving my two weeks notice was a better choice of me. It likely won't look good on a future job application but I'm much happier with this choice. I feel at ease knowing that I won't have to worry later about both when school starts.

As for my parents, I wrote my dad a note explaining what I'm going through, my emotions and how his support can help me. My parents weren't happy about me quitting obviously but I hope eventually they'll understand how light I feel. Like a weight has been taken off my heart. I know they want what is best for me and they were just looking out for me. I feel that this was what was best.

My job was understanding too. My supervisor said she was sad to see me leaving and sad to hear the "bad news" but when I explained what I felt, she understood. She's on medication for depression herself. Until my two weeks are up, I'm going to continue trying to do my best. I've began something else to occupy my time as well. I started making Lets Plays on youtube which is something I've been waiting a long time to do. I can't explain how happy this makes me feel right now.
