In simpler terms, would leaving university help my problem, or does my problem need to be resolved irrespective of where I am?

Hi Lizi,

This sort of sounds like me. I was depressed for most of my life and used studying as a way to escape. It's probably one of the best ways of coping with what we have (although I don't have depression anymore ! ).

Speaking as an anonymous guy on the internet, why not keep up your studies at University and get healthier and happier at the same time? I think you'll find that getting healthier and happier helps everything, including the studies. My best suggestions for what to do are here
