I found the beginning of school was so hard for me being out of it for a couple years. Now I am actually doing pretty well. Not great, because I got behind a lot in the start of my classes, so I was playing catch up all the time.

For me my depression was worse initially, because I was like I am just stupid and can't get through school as easily as other people. Then I found that I wasn't stupid and just had to keep at it which raised my confidence and decreased my depression.

I think if you really want to get back into school try to stick with it for a full term. Try your absolute best, and if this ends with poor grades that doesn't matter. You will have learnt how to study more efficiently and the next term of school will come easier and if you try your best you might have good grades, and over a couple years of this you might achieve great grades and school will come easy.

"Stick with it and the pain will subside, but if you quit it will last forever" This was a quote I heard, but can't recall from who lol.

I find my depression worsens when I'm alone, not exercising and not socializing. Sometimes forcing myself into these things is the best thing I can do when I really really don't want to do them.
