Does "reverse transferring" look terrible?
Does reverse transferring, or transferring from a four year institution to a two year, kill my chances of getting into another four year school following a semester at a community college? I'm currently at a four year school but after some personal issues resulting from major depression (currently making a lot of progress with this) my GPA is just above a 2. I was considering a semester at community college to get some support at home while getting my motivation and GPA up (still have a few GEDs I can complete). Would this look awful on an application to a new four year school for the spring term? or will I be safest spending another 10K at a school I'm not interested in continuing my education at?

Stay where you are. One community college semester, even with a 4.0 GPA, will not lead to an optimistic transfer opportunity to a four-year school. The cost mentioned is comparatively low for four-year schools. Maintain your GPA so that you can graduate. Some students in you situation find a switch to a new major to be a solution. Best wishes.

Bottom line, since you want to eventually to transfer to another University you need to raise your GPA. It makes sene to transfer to a CC, especially since you can get support from your family, and save a lot of money in the process. But you may need to spend more than a semester at a Community College to raise your GPA. Bottom line, manage your depression with either therapy and/or meds, raise your GPA, and you'll be able to get into another University.
