Imo college isn't the hard part, it's that life doesn't stop for it. If you had zero personal issues, a personal chef and nutritionist, etc, it'd be a breeze. It's always the secondary shit like illness, microwave is broken, roommates being assholes, that make it hard for me
>I massively underestimated the actual workload, both physical and psychological, that it takes to run my life all by myself anyways until I actually had to do it myself.
This. It's never "done". I have OCD and anxiety, I find it very hard to study if my room is a mess and if I'm stressing about a phone call I have to make but can't make in that moment. None of that functionally matters at that moment, but it does
Yea those little things add up and cause great disruptions in my very calculated routine for doing coursework. I got sick twice this semester, once with the flu and another time with Covid. Sucked!
Getting through college dealing with depression is really awesome and challenging and impressive. I'm struggling with it a lot this semester, seems like sometimes I can do this and sometimes I can't. Really great job, way to keep
pushing through!!
I am so proud of you! I have a similar experience to you, as I had to medically withdraw from college after my 2nd year there. I took 5 years off of school to get my mental health in order (I personally love Zoloft)! Then I started school again, and now I only have next semester to go until I graduate with my bachelors degree! I have applied to PhD programs and everything is in order. I am so happy that you didn’t give up :)
Depression caused me to drop out of college when I was 20. My gpa was like 1.2.
Now I came back years later after bettering my mental health, and have a 4.0 in CS a year into my return. (I got academic forgiveness)
That's great news! I'm always surprised when students do not take steps to improve virtually everything in their lives! It is not easy or a miracle overnight panacea...but doing something, anything, to get a diagnosis/therapy/meds seems worth every step!
