Studying doesn't even help to escape anymore, since I can't concentrate and have trouble thinking. Yet, it's still possible and I manage somehow. So maybe stay in university and try to do something about depression. I think making such significant life decisions shouldn't be done in an emotional state.

Hi tz90,
You sound a lot like myself so even though it feels like you still have those difficult times it's really encouraging and even inspirational to know that you're still finishing a degree and working towards your goals! Yes, I know what it's like, I have a lot of trouble focusing my mind and completing assignments whereas there was a time that I could work for hours and just forget everything. I very much agree that making a massive decision could be risky with my current mind frame so I will look into studying alongside seeking treatment for my depression. Thanks for the advice. I hope finishing your degree will help you look forward to a bright future. Best of luck with everything
