I disliked high school due to personal issues and by senior year, I had low-grade depression. I still passed because my teachers liked me and knew my behaviour was very uncharacteristic. I probably should have almost failed AP English and World History, but I didn't.

It did not blow up in my face until university. Stopped going to class after two months, parents found out at the end of the semester, started therapy for depression and social anxiety in January. Now I am at another college and I am honestly doing very well. It's a lot easier than uni (program and workload wise), the classes are smaller and less intimidating, I can interact with my professors (which is really important to me), I have friends, and I'm getting good grades.

There is still a small niggling thought that I am not good enough though. I need to go back to university one day, college is really simple. But I'm afraid I won't be able to face the challenges, deal with the workload and stress again. We'll see.
