I don’t want to quit school but I’m gonna pass out if i continue like this.

I really don’t want to drop out of school, but I feel like I’m reaching my breaking point. I’ve been battling depression, anxiety, and psychosis for quite a while now. At one point, it got so intense that I had to take a break from school for two years. I finally managed to return to finish my degree, but now it’s all becoming too much again.

I struggle to get out of bed for my classes because I’m constantly feeling exhausted and unwell. Even as I’m about to head to class, I’m overwhelmed by this intense sense of dread. I can’t afford to take another day off, though—I’ve already missed more than 20 days, and I’m only allowed 40 or 45 absences total.

I tried discussing my situation with my only family member, but it didn’t help much. I’m more than halfway through my final year, and I truly want to succeed. What should I do in this situation?

  1. I’m really sorry to hear that you’re feeling this way. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed, especially when you’re trying to balance your mental health with school demands. Here are some suggestions that might help:

    1. Seek Professional Support: If you haven’t already, consider reaching out to a mental health professional. They can provide you with coping strategies, therapy, or medication if needed.

    2. Talk to a School Counselor: Many schools have resources for students facing difficulties. A counselor can help you navigate your situation, potentially advocate for you, and find accommodations.

    3. Break Down Your Tasks: Instead of focusing on the entire day or week, try breaking your tasks into smaller, more manageable parts. Celebrate each small achievement to build some momentum.

    4. Practice Self-Care: Make sure you’re taking care of yourself. This includes getting enough sleep, eating well, and finding moments for relaxation or activities you enjoy, even if it’s just a few minutes a day.

    5. Reach Out to Trusted Friends: If you have friends or classmates you trust, let them know what you’re going through. Sometimes, sharing your feelings can lighten the load.

    6. Consider Remote Learning: If it’s possible, see if you can attend classes remotely for a while. Some schools offer online options that may reduce the stress of physically attending class.

    7. Create a Flexible Schedule: If you can, try to adjust your class schedule to lighten your load or to fit your mental and physical health needs better.

    Remember, it’s okay to ask for help, and taking care of your mental health should be a priority. You’re not alone in this, and there are resources and people who want to help you succeed.
