Down the Rabbit Hole

[alexisb2u]

Feeling defeated and numb. In the past year, I had a relapse in my depression after 4 years of balance. But this spring,it been really hard. I’ve lost all interest in school and barely want eat or do anything. But my family doesn’t understand and either say i’m lazy or i’m not trying hard enough. It got to point that i broke down crying in class and cried for 20 minutes at college parking garage which I just wanted to give up . So I decided to take a semester off from school which was respond with the money I wasted this semester or how my gpa will be affected. I feel like i’m going crazy and I just want feel like i’m making the right choice for me and my health.I just feel like no one understands

Hi Alexis.

Sorry for how you are feeling.

Have you spoken to your dr or a professional medic about how you are feeling for some guidance.

I’m not sure what country you are in so I know it can be a different process for help. Usually colleges have someone attached to them you can speak to.

It is difficult when family don’t understand.

You have been here before and survived and you can do it again, hooe you can get some support to help the process. X

I'm sorry your going through the lows emotionally...and sorry your parents are not able to be a bit more understanding...sometimes they are just so caught up themselves trying to make financial ends meet, they don't understand because they too get frustrated I think. I don't think they mean to not be there for you.

I think you should take this time off and look into getting some therapy. Find out what is exactly going on with you, and get the appropriate help. You have to take care of yourself and get you back, it is such a pain to stop in the middle of life and have to 180 your direction, but we have to do what we can to stay on track. I hope Your parents will eventually understand this isn't just some kid thing, your a young adult who needs help.

i went through something similar my sophomore year of college. they gave me the option of deferring my scholarship for my semester in order to take a leave- that way i would not lose any money and my gpa and student loans would not be affected. it is somewhat common for people to need a semester off. is this possible for you?

take this semester to help yourself- take some time off, relax, find some meds if you think you need them, and talk to a therapist or counselor. don't be too hard on yourself- depression is a sneaky little thing and can appear out of nowhere sometimes.
