I don't know what I'm doing after college. I've kind of resigned myself to having to move back in with my parents at least long enough to learn how to drive. I have a double major in math and biology and I am interested in laboratory research, although I'm not even enthusiastic about that anymore. Some of my friends are staying in college for another year or two. As for the others, I have no idea what they are doing.

It's not so much allowing my opinion to be swayed as dreading how I'm going to approach the topic with her. If I do need medication, I'll only have two weeks here before I have to go back home. Once I'm home, I can imagine all sorts of grief that she'd give me. I am rather nervous because I don't think trying medication for the first time in an unmonitored situation with my mother constantly aggravating me is very healthy I don't think she'd let me get a therapist, and I am not independent enough yet to get one on my own.

I agree with your analysis of where I am (category 2, as you called it). I'm a bit scared of how medication will affect me, and I'd rather get along without it if I can. In any case, maybe I'm just getting worked up over nothing. Perhaps the psychiatrist will say I don't need medication after all. As for exercise, I get bored too easily. Repetitive motions lose my interest too quickly. Plus I'm lazy and don't want to bother, even though I know I should. My good mood disappeared already. Now I'm back to feeling neutral.
