Not finishing school...

I am so upset that my anxiety/illness holds me back, and that it kept me from finishing high school. I was in and out of a psych ward as a teenager. I am currently studying for my GED. I hope to get it, but because of my depression it's hard to get myself motivated to study. I try to remind myself that your health is one of the most important things, but I can be very hard on myself. I feel worthless without a degree. I just want to get better, so I can get my GED/go to college and get a job helping people. Who else didn't finish school because of their illness/anxiety?

Hi I didn't either coz of my depression. However once I did therapy I did go back to further education in my 20's. It's never too late so there is no rush.

Do a little at a time and take breaks often

I finished school but it was very challenging for me. The depression gave me had brain fog and everything felt like a tremendous struggle. Totally understand that you dropped out of school. You need to get yourself right first. You are definitely not worthless without a degree. Take care🙏
