Jdubs--
You will find a cure. You're very young, and this forum will provide you with many great ideas. You will do fine at UCLA. As Counterpoints observed, there are a lot of people with other types of disabilities. You will be at home at UCLA (I know the place quite well). I credit this forum for helping me focus. I have had general anxiety disorder and POIS for a long time (I'm 60). This forum has helped me nearly wipe out my GAD in just over 6 months! HOW? Stay focused. Be positive. Keep accurate records of how you feel. I think UCLA has some good student counseling-If you still have POIS when you get there. I won't comment about my POIS, because I think we each have to find our own way. This forum will give you the best support in the world.
Just to know that you are with others who share the same difficulties is a great help.
One last thing that is hard to accept: Progress may not be linear and continuous. There will be pitfalls and regressions. But you will eventually succeed. The most difficult thing for me is to accept and work through the pitfalls as I progress.
But my accurate record keeping tells me that the long term prognosis is quite hopeful.
