I'm currently a freshman in college and I'm finding it difficult to deal with my depression and anxiety here. One big problem is that I haven't made any friends yet, so I get very lonely and feel like I'm an outcast here. It's very hard for me to make friends because I'm a shy person and I have social anxiety. I feel like I'm never going to make friends.
I'm also having a difficult time with motivating myself to do my work and go to class due to my depression. The first few months I have been doing fairly well but I'm starting to feel worse again and starting to never want to leave my room. I'm starting to feel that sense of meaningless and worthlessness again which makes me just want to quit everything because I'm feel like I won't succeed and everyone else is better than me. I don't know, any general advice on coping with mental illness in college would be appreciated.
