Leaving university due to an ED
Hey friends, i have anorexia and other mental illnesses and this year i am unable to return for my third year of university. I am really struggling with seeing everyone going back to school and being left behind. My ed is getting worse because i dont know how to deal with all of the emotions.
If anyone has experience with leaving school/know someone who has, due to mental illness i would appreciate any advice you could give me. Also, if anyone just needs to vent about their experiences with university and eating disorders maybe we can support eachother.
Hey @Sammie1997
i also dropped out of school a few weeks ago when it was the very ast few weeks so wasted 2 years of my education. And it did start getting me down now my friends are telling me theyre going to uni and feel like i have failed cause need to take another year off.
But then i thought everyone is doing their own things and it doesnt matter if i am not going at their pace. Everyones going on theor owns paths . I will focus on myself and where i want to be . And are different routes if not quite up for it.
And is okay to look after yourself and put your health first because its hard to focus and can put more pressure
