Hello,
I am a 19 year old student studying at University. I am very far away from my family and although they ring me nearly every day to make sure I’m okay I want nothing more than to drop out of my course and go back home. I have only just started my second year but already I find getting out of bed in the morning to be a challenge and I am completely demotivated to do anything anymore.
Everything was great last year, I had a wonderful boyfriend, a lot of friends and I did really well in my first year. However, over the summer a lot of things happened that have deeply affected me. I was diagnosed with depression a month ago but so far there has been no improvement and things are getting worse now that I am back at university. I don’t know how to go on with my life and every day I feel that I don’t want to be here. I hate myself and feel worthless. How can I cope with this and move on with my life?
