Hello, Omofca. Amounting to something often involves mastering task after task without necessarily focusing on how you will amount to anything. Getting the diploma is important, but working on sorting out the meds may be a prerequisite.

I often wonder how much of my own lethargy is due to the underlying depression/anxiety problems versus the meds employed to address those problems. Depression can undermine motivation, so can depression meds.

You need to discuss this with your prescribing doctor (an eight-weeks' trial on a drug is fairly standard). Also, do you have access to an academic or vocational counselor who has experience dealing with people suffering from MH problems?
