I’m having trouble doing the simplest of things. I used to get pretty good grades, but now I could care less about school. The only class that really interests me is Psychology. I guess because maybe I can figure out why I feel this way all the time.

All I think about is how I could try to get better but never try, anger, and sadness and shame. I want to be a different person and start over, but I know I can’t. I wish I could just get away from everything.

What should I do?

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling lately. It is great to hear you are still interested in psychology! I know when I'm interested in something, I do better. Have you thought about going back to the basics? When I'm really low I try to nurture myself: hot bath, good music, journal, getting enough sleep, treating myself nicely. Thank you so much for reaching out! Keep talking to us, I know how hard it is but it shows how brave you really are. Have you thought about talking to someone in your life-family, friends, counselor? Let us know how you're doing. Be gentle with yourself, remember you are doing the best you can!
