No one talk about how humbling it is to lose all your academic potential because of your mental health.

Top of my classes all the way through high school full rides to ivy leagues everyone said I was gonna do something with my life. Got to college and my mental health ruined it. Withdrew last year because I no longer had the will to even fight I was supposed to graduate this year. My family hates me for it, all my friends I made at college say I gave up and they won’t even talk to me anymore. I still have ambition just not for college

Me! Seriously me. I’m so burnt out. I feel hopeless and worthless, because as an art major, I’m creatively burnt out on top of regularly burnt out. I can’t do the one thing that would help me cope with stress anymore, because it feels like a chore now and stresses me out MORE.

This has happened to me once, going on two times. I only have one semester left. If I can just make it until December, maybe it’ll all be okay. After all, I only sacrificed one year…

Yeah, I’m planning on giving it until next year before I withdraw since I’m still a freshman. If I decide to withdraw, I’m taking a gap year and then getting my welding license and going straight to work

So annoying you people. Most of you just couldn’t keep up your conscientiousness compensated for your lacking intelligence.

“Lacking intelligence” bro… you just said your FAILING your own classes id say the person lacking intelligence is the one failing their classes and still paying for college. Worry about yourself
