A Student Struggling

Lucky person, his first medication worked for him.

why do I relate to this so hard? This is me right now. I started out pretty great and have greatly slipped. I'm now in my final year and it literally feels like climbing a gravel mountain. I met up with one of my old professors who once taught me and when she saw my current results she was shocked. She kept asking me "what happened to you? You used to be so smart!" and I honestly couldn't answer her. Also, I have also slipped from an As and Bs student to high C and solid C student and D is considered a fail in my country.

This made me cry right when the D grade came on screen. My math teacher asked me why my grades are going down, I couldn't tell her it was because of my depression. Now I feel horrible. I feel so lost. I feel gone.

Study for long hours, forget everything on exam day.

Having depression and anxiety is the worse. The wanting of doing well as others give you the pressure when you're considered smart , but the feeling of just pure emptiness and no drive to do anything. Is just horrible because you're constantly split between both.

If only we could wake up at 9am for school ..

The saddest thing is when you parents don’t understand you 😔

Anxiety and depression is horrible. Everyone says that I have talent and that I'm gifted. I'm always pressured to do well in school but that's hard because I don't have any drive to do anything. Also, it's hard to focus when you're sad as hell and contemplating suicide 24/7. I feel like dropping out of school would be best for my mental health, but bad for my future.

This was in my reccomended. YouTube knows when I'm not going to school.

My College actually told me to come back next year because my anxiety was badly distracting me. So I'm literally stuck in my home with nothing to do all day.

The sad part is that when vacations finally arrive for me, I tend to loose my will to live due to the lack of productivity... I usually get so obsessed with my grades, that I end up thinking that the only thing that matters in life is to be academically good in order to have a successful life and if I'm not productive, my self-esteem just drops and makes me think I'm not productive enough...

damn i wish i could get up at 9 instead of 6

Well, at least that guy has friends.

As yoy guys can see anxiety/ depression can affect you ANY time. It is really unpredictable. Like.. Yesterday you couldn't feel more happy and today your just... Empty. Depression/anxiety is super unpredictable. You might have been happy 7 seconds ago and now u feel like trash.

It's hard to stay positive in a negative world. Everything and everyone seem to be putting u down, like you're suffocating.

The most unrealistic part is that he can wake up at 9am for school.

Two types of comments here: "This is literally me" goes into full detail about whatever mental illness they have or think they have or "HE GETS TO WAKE UP AT 9 UGH I HAVE TO WAKE UP AT 6 AM EVERY DAY NOT FAIR UGH"

I can easily relate to this, especially in my high school experience. I used to have amazing grades, now I'm struggling to get a C+, because due to my mental illness, I was happy in life, before I went to high school, a lot of people hate me, because they think that I can't learn because I'm too mentally disabled to do so. I do go to therapy once a week

It's so heartbreaking to see what people with mental illness have to face everyday... I hope whoever deals with this gets the help they need and the strength to fight all these obstacles. REMEMBER: You are NEEDED, you are LOVED, you are IMPORTANT & you are GOOD ENOUGH💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

My anxiety makes me forget everything that I have studied for hours
