The Future is Almost Here

My girl turns 18 in a couple of months. She'll be coming home around then. She has big plans - college, and living on her own - that she's excited about.
Here's the thing: she wasn't able to go take her ACT because of her anxiety. How can she handle college?
I want her to, don't get me wrong. But my biggest fears are that she will relapse and really injure herself, or that her anxiety will get the better of her and she will feel like a failure.
Obviously, there isn't anything I can do about either of those things. That just makes me worry more.

I'm a little afraid of what I might find when I see her next. She hasn't confided any episodes of cutting, but I know it's so hard to stop.
