I have similar regrets, and I also know how mental health can get it the way. I have dropped out of two different graduate programs because I gave into the depression and anxiety. I try to be kind to myself, but I also know how I made bad decisions along the way that contributed to my triggering myself and making things harder to overcome.

Now it is just a journey to move forward and see how those failed educational experiences can be used in a positive way for my future.
