Dealing with depression as a college student
Hi. I’m a second year college student, my grades have been declining over the past few months due to my severe depression. I often feel worthless and emotionally drained, so it’s very difficult for me to study. I’m writing my finals in a few days lol, and I’m going to fail, because I only know half of my syllabus. Anyway, It’s sad to think that I was once an A student. I can’t decipher my emotions, I don’t know what’s happening in my brain. My mood can go from angry to sad to happy in minutes, I’m scared that I might be dealing with a more serious mental illness. I’m not happy with the life I’m living, I often daydream about what life could’ve been like if it was just how I wanted it to be. This is a big problem for me because when I finally make a friend, I tell them that made up version of my life and not the real thing. I don’t know why I do this, anyone experiencing something similar?
