Got the grades but mental health let me down

[IBS_Problems]

Through my two years at college my mental health was so up and down towards the end of the year I was so suicidle I just didn’t want to try anymore I could have done soooooo much better. I got DMM for anyone who doesn’t know it’s just enough to get into uni (I’m not going to uni but I didn’t want it to be completely out of the question you know). I know I should be happy but I can’t help but think I let myself down

I think this is the basis of a lot of my suggestions to people tonight. Perspective. Sure, you could have done better as you admitted, but look at what you did do: despite your mental health woes throughout the year, you accomplished something. Some may not have been able to finish the year. It's tough, stressful, and enough to break even those without mental health issues....but you did it with them. I've had times where I knew or felt I should have done better in anything....hockey, school, parenting, or whatever. We can't fixate and be disappointed so badly in what we didn't do....we need to focus on what we did do when we're dealing with issues. Like, in my case, hockey when I had a bum knee. I could have scored 50 goals, but I only got 33 because I wasn't able to be at 100%. Same with your grades. Your mind and brain were handling so much between school AND mental health. That's a lot....so look at your performance from a perspective that you successfully finished school with an overloaded brain. That's outstanding in my opinion. Wishing you warm congrats and much success in the future. Take care for now.

Hi I went to Uni and whilst I didn't find the work too hard my depression kept getting in the way and I found it difficult to concentrate and memorise stuff. If I could I would probably have got a 2-1 instead of a 2-2. But in the end I passed despite my problems and I am so pleased I persevered and got there in the end. That's an achievement in itself.

Try and see the positives instead of beating yourself up about the negatives. You get an A for achieving against all the odds so well done. x

You need to relax now you have the tickets you have sought for the last two years, Hopefully now you will move on and a pathway will open up for you and you will move on with the search for a rewarding career.

You mention no Uni, not everyone is suited for this way forward, take time and consider what you want and need. Whatever you decide hopefully, you will make the right decision and enter the best way forward for you, and you alone
