One class in the scheme of things is not a big deal, and you have Real Life to deal with over the summer. (Your summer without a class is still a tremendous endeavor!) School will be there when you're ready, work will be there when you're ready, and the rest of it may take time, but it will get done, somehow. Breathing helps! My two cents — skip the class.

You'll start feeling better soon, you'll be able to pack up the house, get it sold, and start a whole new life. When the present makes you depressed, just concentrate on the good the future holds. And by all means impose upon every friend you have for anything you need done. Sit on the couch, point to things and make other people box them up for you! I'm willing to bet from reading your blog that you're one of those people who goes out of your way to help every friend in need, but then never wants to impose on anyone in return. Don't go it alone; even if your friends are mostly out of town or out of state, let 'em make a trip out. That's what friends are there for! Feel better and don't stress too much. Things will come together soon enough. P.S. Can you do an independent study? At our school, we're allowed to do it, if we find professors willing to supervise. Also, don't rush graduating. Then you just have to look for another job! :P Well, the only good thing about life completely sucking is that it can only get better from here!

And remember that a tough time, even a really tough time, doesn't change the reasons you filed for divorce in the first place. You're significantly stronger than you think you are, so I'm not too worried about you changing your mind. As for the class, it's true that you'll need to graduate at some point, but will 1 class right now help significantly? I think that if not taking one would really stress you out then perhaps it isn't worth skipping the session, but is there an "easy" (or at least, easier) one you can do right now? Do you have to take 3 classes next semester? Is the school working with you on this? And most important, I'm thinking of you and sending you thoughts of strength, happiness, and recovery.
