i dropped out of college last year after going for 3 months, tbh i can’t really explain what was the exact reason i dropped out, I felt very overwhelmed, anxious and depressed, at times it just feel like everyone else were doing better than me, i don’t deserve to be there, i lacked confidence, i feel like i’m not as smart as other people, what i faced at that time was really bad that i lost almost 10 kg in the span of 3 months, i can’t handle the workloads due to my anxiety and the major itself, so i decided to drop out...and now after resting for five months, i’m trying again to further my studies hopefully i can do this..i just want you to know that whatever feelings that you’re feeling is valid, it’s okay if you are a few steps behind from other people, it’s okay if you’re used to be that smart student in high school but now you’re having hard time in college, it’s okay...just because everyone else around you are doing good, doesn’t make you any less greater than them...these feelings and problems are hard to deal with but we valid and it’s okay to not be okay...do whatever makes you happy, your health and happiness come first..if dropping out of college is what makes you happy then just go for it, if you just need a rest then take a leave/break..it’s never too late to learn, go at your own pace :) also it’s okay to drop out, you are still amazing and wonderful

I hope this don't lead to a depression, but everyday i feel pain, physical and mental. its just horrible, i feel ashamed.

Same here but for my BS. I joined the Army to get away from college. Ended up finishing the rest while being in. I always dreaded going back to a campus or even reading course work again.

Dropped out in a year. Couldn't study due to A&D. Getting into the work place helped things - money in my pocket and some self-respect. Tomorrow is another day folks. Stay strong.

thank you for this. i’ve been stuck in this dark hole too since I moved out from my hometown for college in a much bigger city. I get mental breakdowns here and then. I isolate my self from everyone and waking up everyday is a struggle for me. I try to leave my dorm as much as I can and do normal stuffs like errands, grocery, etc but it only do me more harm than good. I do it because I wanna distract myself but in the end, it only makes me feel more depressed. On top of that, there’s all these stress and pressure from school. I honestly feel mentally and physically lost these days but I try to hold on to it because I have to live up to my parent’s expectation with me being the breadwinner. It’s past 3 AM as i type, I’m tired and I honestly don’t know anymore. I just want out.

I'm currently a sophomore, but since the first semester I've struggled to 'want' to go to college. I don't even want to graduate at this point, as my career goal does not align to my college major. Honestly, my career goal does not even require a college degree. But both my parents are lecturers at another university, and I know it must disappoint them so much for their child to be a college dropout. I've always had gotten good grades up to high school, I really loved studying. But now, in college... I can't do it anymore. I had a GPA of 1.60 last semester. I don't know what to do, I want to drop out...

I have anxiety and Can absolutely relate to everything you said and many things people have said in the comments. I went to college right after high school, my parents divorced and didn’t have savings so I also had to support myself fully through college. As you described, I did hit rock bottom. Before that, I tried talking to a counselor that was referred to me by the school. He sucked and I felt like he didn’t care at all about what I was sharing with him. So I thought something was wrong with me. For some reason I never came to KZread to hear about other people’s problem. If I had, I probably would have understood that many others go through this depressive/anxious/dark place too and that I wasn’t alone (a belief I had that only exacerbated the situation). So I took a break from college and decided to just work for a couple years and save so I wouldn’t have to work full time while also doing uni. Here are the things I learned and that I hope anyone reading can learn from as well: 1. Taking a break was fine. It helped me see that the working world without a degree SUCKS, and made me more motivated to get a degree. 2. It’s ok to change majors, just be smart and don’t run out of money on useless classes. I suggest taking core credits for the first two years, while you figure out what you really like. Also, remember that just because you love a class doesn’t mean you will absolutely love that field. It’s easy to see the grass greener on the other side, but every degree will require classes that suck. Take that into consideration before you change majors. 3. If not having enough money is a reason why you’re stressing so much with school, take it easy. I know it sucks to hear, but it’s better to go slow on those classes than to have a super rushed and horrible college experience. Try taking 1 or 2 classes a semester at a community college if you work full time. It’s better to go slowly and surely. 3. It’s ok to go slow, as I previously said. Even if you don’t have financial problems, those of us prone to anxiety or/and depression will definitely suffer and shut down if we feel overwhelmed. Don’t overwhelm yourself, don’t beat yourself up. Take it easy. Maybe take a couple classes a semester and find a part time job you enjoy, or volunteer at an animal shelter or soup kitchen in your free time. Nurture yourself with meaningful experiences. 4. Don’t be afraid to “let people down”. It’s your life, take control over it. Want to take it slow but afraid your parents won’t help you pay for school anymore? Tell the truth, and make plan B in case that happens. Good parents will listen to you and support you in your dark times. 5. Keep your best friends close. Believe me on this one. I started as an international student and when things went dark, I didn’t wish for anyone else to be there for me than my beloved friends. If you don’t have your friends close or haven’t been able to make new friends, it’s ok. It’s hard at this stage anyways. But you really need to find a support group, or keep in touch with those you love the most. 6. Any time that you feel anxious, sad or just don’t even know how to react to a bad situation, that’s the signal to find a counselor/therapist/psychologist. They are educated to help you prevent and stop bad thought processes (bringing yourself down, thinking that life is meaningless, anger issues, etc.) and destructive behaviors (not waking up in the mornings, wanting to do nothing all day, not going to class, not eating, etc.) 7. Remember that everything will be alright. It’s ok to withdraw from a class, even fail a class. What’s not ok is to give up and throw your entire life out the window just because of a grade. As a former A student in high school, one of the hardest parts of college was getting Bs, Cs, Ws and even Fs in my transcript. When I left college I realized none of that mattered. Now I am 24, and I am back at uni. I have about 2 more years to go or so. Everything I described I have suffered, and I would never wish that upon anyone else. From time to time I still have negative thoughts such as “you’re so old and you still haven’t finished your degree”. Or compare myself to others such as “that single mother of two is acing that class and the best you can do is a C?”. But the thing is, now I am able to recognize these thoughts as toxic and wrong. Therefore, I am able to unveil the truth, that they don’t mean I won’t ever do great again, they don’t mean I can’t have a meaningful life either. If someone you know: a professor, a parent, another person, etc. Ever criticizes you with similar toxic quotes as the ones I described, it’s important you don’t let that hurt you either. Remember, we are all different and have different needs as well. You can do this! You just have to figure out HOW to do it! I think college sucks regardless of one’s degree and, as I learned from my husband, a grade doesn’t mean anything as long as you get your degree. Good employers don’t care about letters. They just want you to know what’s important in that field. Life is full of challenges but also of many more beauties, if you allow it. And it’s okay to ask for help if you don’t know how to allow yourself to see the beauty in the world. None of us were born knowing it all. If you’re reading this and struggling with managing your anxiety as I did through college, I hope my tips will help you. Have a great day, and don’t let anyone else ruin that for you 💕

I’ve been depressed for 6 months now. Professors have fucked up my college life when all I tried to do was pay attention and be polite. I think It’s like professors have the right to get so ignorant and be cruel to students and deans and other people don’t give a shit what they do. Just about everyday when I went in to college I’d get so mad whenever a professor would be a smart ass to me. There would also be a time where I wouldn’t know where my class went and when a professor would be mean just because I don’t know what we have to do first on a thing we’re doing in class. I’ve cried 3 maybe 4 times whenever I’d get home from college. I didn’t have a single good day in college except for the last day. I once heard my writing professor saying to someone that she doesn’t want me to be successful. That was the 1st damn day of college...

I mean we all have things we go through and it’s best to let it out to share it because others will benefit from it just as I did today. I feel so much better now honestly. I used to feel like a failure my parents were a bit upset that I was transferring back and living home but you know things are getting better and am making new decisions and going on new paths so I see a bright future no matter if we’re living in a pandemic you know try to see the positive! Yeah thank you for this video! 😭 I really had to hold my tears in for this one. Hope you’re doing good now !

When I was at college I had an undiagnosed mental illness so I eventually left as I wasn’t coping. It was the best decision I made as I managed to get myself sorted and I’m thinking of going back

thank you for sharing!! going through similar feelings right now and this made me feel less alone

Hey, just recently finished my degree and got myself a job. I too found college to be hard and depressing. I had no clear goal, which made it all feel pointless. When I finally found a strong goal to motivate me, it actually got a lot better. I wish you well, and hope you have found some focus of interest. 🙂

I have had some issues with college from the beginning, probably because I picked a hard major (I was interested in it, but some exams are too hard for me personally). In June I had an exam I had been studying for 3 months for. The night before I had 6 panic attacks, nausea and almost threw up a few times from the anxiety. I fell asleep at around 4 am, sitting up, exhausted. I told myself I would wake up the next day, go home and quit university because I was not going through that again. That was not life. I don't care that college doesn't last forever and that you need that piece of paper and no, it doesn't get better with time. My anxiety almost got worse as I progressed through college. Then I came home and I spend the rest of June and all July doing nothing, exploring other possibilities outside of college too (such as job opportunities). Then in August the situation started getting better: I have decided get medication if anxiety and depression got out of control, to treat myself and especially, to do something outside of college. For example, I might start a part-time internship in the fall and I'm very excited. I've learnt that it's vital to listen to you, ask yourself why you are feeling that way, take some time to clear your mind, reason and then take the decision that works best for you now and for your future. Quit if you cannot stand what you're studying or want to do a completely different job compared to what you're studying for. Do something different for a while (a sabbatical, internship, volunteer work, employes job). Taste the waters, learn that life is tough. Then make a concious decision with a clear vision.

This really makes me feel better rn. I started having HORRIBLE anxiety attacks the past two months and im a last semester senior. Thankfully I finished the semester, this was exam week. But I'm too physically sick from anxiety to go to the graduation ceremony which is really frustrating. I decided to talk to my parents about how I feel too weak to attend the ceremony and my parents both support my health more than walking the stage. This week im moving home and am going to take the next two months to just enjoy my time and chill out. Im so excited to move home and be done with school. I completely agree that college is not worth any of the mental health issues. I think a lot of it comes from the expectation to be doing what everyone else is doing. Now that im done, I feel relieved that I can carve my own path and do random jobs to figure out what I like. This has all just taught me how important it is to take care of yourself first and to not feel guilty for saying no.

Thank you for this

Hey there Jocelyn. I had to watch this because I was low in my mood over my past failures or I would say 'maybe' failures. I have anxiety disorder since I was very young and I dropped out from one major to other just to find what is it that will make me happy. Around the end of 2018, after changing two majors subsequently, I realized I have to dropout in order to save myself. I dropped out, yeah I did. Life is not easy yet. But, trust me watching this video of your struggle and comeback to KZread really makes me motivated to not give up. 😊

Im coming home early from being abroad and this helped me so much, everything you described is something im going through and I felt so isolated and alone and even like im failing and hearing you talk about your situation made me feel so much better.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, you have no idea how much this video helped me

This is how I am feeling now and I just had to drop my courses because my mindset is not really there anymore. I've been struggling, so seeing this gives me some clarity that I am not alone.

Thank you for being transparent. It really helped me feel better 😘

How did your parents react to this? I Find myself in this very situation but I am afraid to tell my parents. I feel like I am letting them down. and it hurts so much...

I'm supposed to graduate this year but I'm hella afraid of many things, I have doubt to myself that I can't make it, and if I can't make it I will be disappointing my parents and my family I don't want that to happen but at the same time I really want to give up and give it a try next year, I'm really messed up idk how to help myself...😔😢

Me too, I have to do a mandatory internship after this semester. Im basically done I feel at a very low point right now, especially since I already work a full time job and I’m not fully financially stable to just quit my job and do an internship for the semester. I wish it wasn’t a requirement, taking me almost 8 years to get this four year degree and now I’ve hit a wall.

My first semester started this month, actually this was the second time I entered college after leaving my previous uni and take a break for almost one year because my mental illness went really bad, but everything is not what Im imagine, my major now is really different from my passion and interest. I want to move again but I dont want to disappoint my parents. I dont know if im gonna survive this years, everyday I have really bad headache and trembling everytime the class started because I know that Im not gonna do well. My passion was in health and medicine but now Im in design, I was so frustrated

I'm just 2 semesters from graduating (1st half of 2020) but I feel like I can't do it anymore, well I been feeling like that for so long already. My hair is falling a lot, leaving me with bald spots and feeling even worse, because I'm both depressed and feeling physically ugly. I have psoriasis too, and it flares up adding pain to the situation. I'm truly, truly unhappy like I've never before, I've been through a lot along with the bad experience in college. Grieving 3 people, dealing with direct homophobia. However I have no courage to mention that to my parents since they've worked so hard to pay for my education, and we're barely medium class, economically speaking.. I'm going to finish this for them but I promised myself I'll never ever do anything for anybody else that I don't enjoy, not even my parents that I love so much. It's not worthy. I have no idea how long I'll take to recover from all the consequences left, emotional and physical. I wish I had never gotten in, wish I've had the strength to say "no, I'm not going to college, it's not what I want". I also wish to stop beating myself mentally for that, since the decision has been long made, 2 and a half years ago. I feel broken.

I actually did very well in college for a long time, but by the very end of it, both school and personal life factors had left me ground down to a shell of my former self, dependent on alcohol to reduce my crippling anxiety and depression, fearful about my grades and their impact on my future yet so unmotivated it was hard to actually attend class and turn in assignments, and just frustrated with and resentful of the whole experience overall. It was a living hell, to be honest, all with the hope that the light at the end of the tunnel was a career that paid well and kept me from being homeless. But most bachelor degrees are useless, so you have to go on to a master's. If my teenage self could see my college graduate self ... wow, those are two people who wouldn't easily recognize each other.

How did you do it? I honestly wanna know because I'm in the same situation. I can't finish my bachelor thesis because depression hits me and then there's a lot of personal problems that makes me feel overwhelmed. I was the top of my class, and now I'm just a loser and suddenly unmotivated. This is my 5th year of college and I'm not even writing a single paragraph for my bachelor thesis. I might as well leave college next semester because I felt dumb. Sorry if my typing is messy, english isn't my first language :)

Thankyou for this. I've moved from my hometown to this big city and I'm in a horrible state. I'm stuck with the major my life goals doesn't align with. I don't wanna go to classes and don't wanna talk to anyone. Every morning i woke up with this anxious feeling that makes me to quit everything. It's hard and I just keep on telling my self this too shall pass but there are still 3 years to get through.

Also i feel confused because I thought school is what i wanted but I’m not sure if the classes I’m taking are the issue or what. Hope I figure it out..

my freshmen year as well, i decided to submit my withdrawal halfway through the year. my college wasn’t helpful at all as well with my mental space at the time. i even remember the exact words that my dorm coordinator said to me, who is an actual staff hired by the university, “I tell all of my students to get to college, earn your degree, and get out. Happiness shouldn’t be your top priority.” I still dropped out, focused on myself and my mental health, I’m now happier than ever

I just graduated from Senior Year and honestly I just want to give my mental health a big break because I just recovered from ED because of stress and body image. I really wanted a break but suddenly my parents are telling me to get into college when I don't even know what I want to do with myself just yet. Now, I am in college in a course I don't enjoy, been eating non stop and I don't know why maybe I'm stressed but I don't know where. I wanted to quit but even the college I'm at won't let me quit. I am even more pressured because I just disabled all my social media accounts but somehow they still find to contact me pressuring me to continue because the opportunity and I am thankful but I really just can't concentrate on college yet. I am so pressured. MY FAMILY is disappointed. I don't know what to do. My best friend (went into severe depression) suggested I should get therapy because I may be depressed or have an anxiety disorder. I wanted to work to be able to pay the therapy but my family is saying that if I'm depressed then I'm not their family or I'm just making excuses to quit college. I am still looking for work. But I don't know how far can I pull this through. I am so pressured.. What should I do?

I'm in school and it was the first day back to school and I literally feel like crap my anxiety and depression is bad and school makes it worst

I study since 2019 and 3 out of 4 semesters were from home. I didnt like the first semester but I thought that it will get better. but then corona hit and the second semester was a desaster. I gained a big amoibt of weight, smoked weed every day cause it was the only thing that made me happy and I avoided doing anything for uni cause it reminded me how much I dont know and hoe much I have to do which caused anxiety attacks and fear for the exams. I hate it so much.

Just watching this now in 2021 lmao. Im currently a freshman in Winona State University. I have been struggling a lot since i've got here. It has only been 3 months and i'm already out of it. my mental health has not been doing good. I just feel lost. I have already withdraw from my college reading and writing class because I had other classes that I was worrying about and I was just falling behind. I have been thinking to transfer but I just don't know where or what i want to do. The only thing that is holding me back is my best friend who came to college with me and is my roommate and my friend group who have helped me so much and make me feel worth, but other than that I just don't feel right here. I don't want to be a college dropout because i don't want to disappoint my parents and even myself. I just really hope someone can help me or that I can find a path I can following and be better. I just feel like a disappointment :(

thank you Jocelyn 🥺❤️

a few things that help me: 1. college doesn't last forever. 2. each day/week/month gets easier than the last day/week/month. 3. everyone is anxious and sad, not just you. Were all feeling this. 4. focus on your career goals. let that elevate your mind beyond your present moment anxiety. College is just a hurdle to pass thru, not an end in itself.

1. Your point? 2. Not for everyone. Your experiences aren't universal. 3. Not everyone handles stress the same. Some people legitimately have anxiety, depression, and mental "disorders" that makes it harder for them to handle stressful situation. It's not always a passing phase ("I got a bad grade so i'm depressed" bullcrap). 4. You assume people have a "career goal". Most teens who go to college have no idea what they want to do. They just go because they were pressured by family and teachers. They were constantly fed propaganda that if they didn't go, they'd be a "failure" living on minimum wage lmao. So now you have all these kids who have no idea what they want to do going because they have no other choice. It's why the average college students spends 6 years getting a degree (that only takes 4 years) because they are constantly switching their majors (the average college students switches their major 3 TIMES).

Thinking "everyone else this or that" doesn't work with depression, you were probably just sad. people who are chronically ill will just put an even greater burden over their shoulders by thinking that well everyone is sick but I'm the only one failing.

I have about a year left. I almost dropped out a few months ago. I have had depression for years so I can’t handle more than a few classes at a time :/ it takes so long to graduate…so soul sucking

Omg my bday is on 12 feb! I feel u. I always feel sad cuz i know i won't fully enjoy it cuz of exams.. :(

HELP! I started college on August and im not really happy im not motivated i really dont have a goal or any passions. I dont eat so well how i use to. im getting skinnier. I just feel so tired. I feel so alone. I wish i could spend more time with my friends and family. I have been thinking to drop out but im not sure if is the right decision.

College can be stressful, I felt that too when I first enter college. I would recommend to talk to someone, watch video that make you smile. That's how I go through college.

I’m currently failing my BASIC math class and talked to me professor and he told me just to drop it. Idk what to tell my mom Bc it’s gonna set me back:(( and i don’t wanna lose my financial aid:/

I'm currently a graduating student from College. I took up Industrial Engineering because I think it would give me a bigger salary, but as times pass by I realize that I didn't want this to be my profession for the rest of my life. I just want to find my passion. Corporate world sucks! I have always been a passionate student until college keeps rocking my mental health. I just want to be a teacher that would help students to find their passion. I'm always envious of those people who enjoy the corporate world. I myself hate the corporate world. I just want to be free. I just want to live my life.
