I had to take the 2012 winter semester off. It was completely humiliating for me
but it would've been more humiliating to fail...I'm bipolar, and I was in a major depression
that had been going on since September.
I wouldn't suggest that you drop out altogether but I don't see anything wrong with
taking time off if you can't function. If you don't feel like this is where you are, then
I would suggest you find a support group. Join study groups. Have someone to be
accountable to besides a grade at the end of the semester which is so abstract.

That's my advice...suck it up and pull through or really evaluate if you can continue.e
and either keep going or take a break. College isn't going anywhere.
