I have had similar issues. I dropped out of high school at age fourteen. Went back at sixteen. Did great for a year. Then failed out. Got my GED a year later. Tried college. Failed. Went back a year after that. Did great until six months ago. Picking things back up now, and trying to do good again. All I can say is get up again and again, every time you fall, and never give up. I sometimes view mental health relapses in a very negative way. In particular I let them crush me and make me fear for my future, I thought I'd never get anywhere in life. But I keep trying. That's all we can do
