you say some good stuff there. however, the decision to stay at university is strongly influenced by my dad. i'm the first in the family ever to go to university and he doesn't want me to mess it up. it also doesn't help that he doesn't understand depression... it means i have to hide everything from him. so, even though leaving university isn't a simple decision by any way, my dad's strong stance definitely encourages me to stay. nor does it help that he expects me to get a First, even in my first year exams. A First is the highest grade. I am probably able to do it since I'm good at languages but my depression seems to have taken all my ability away too .
