I am 25 and due to some issues I need to move back to my home country to continue my studies. I have only two units which one is supplementary exam) left to complete my (degree. But unfortunately I have failed one unit and lead to me cannot apply for the supplementary exam on time. I am notlw working full time but I feel useless and disappointed myself and my parents. Due to this issue, I might got another unsatisfactory academic warning or get exclude. I am having some sort of depression and anxiety.
Everytime I try to work hard but always goes negative. I got depressed it is because I feel like everyone graduate in the earlier age and I am wasting alot of time.
In this 3 years, I knew I am having a strong anxiety and high stress level. Even I didn't show to others not even my parents but I have hidden it for so long and can only type it on here.
What should I do? Why am I a useless guy?

Well... I obviously don't know you. But I doubt you're a useless guy. I also know, though, how punishing getting through school can be. (I had my own struggles with it many years ago.) I take it you're currently in Australia & you're going to be returning to your home country to continue your studies? Perhaps being back in your home country will be helpful. I would guess that being in a foreign country studying must add a certain amount of stress even beyond what going to school creates to begin with.

You mentioned one reason you feel depressed is because you feel like everyone is graduating at an earlier age & you're wasting a lot of time. It's just my personal opinion, but I think we always put ourselves in danger when we compare ourselves to others. We don't really know what's going on in other peoples' lives. So it's easy to look at just one small aspect of their lives & imagine that we somehow don't measure up. At least from my perspective, I think it is better to just look at where we are in relation to where we want to be. And, if we don't seem to be progressing, then we can look at why that might be happening & what we can do about it.

From what you wrote, it sounds as though you are working full time as well as studying? If that is the case, perhaps you're just trying to pack too much into your days &, as a result, you're coming up short. Given that you apparently failed one unit & that this may create some problems for you academically, perhaps meeting with one of your professors or an academic advisor, either at the school you're at now, or at the one you'll be going to when you return home, would be a good idea. I know it's tempting, when things aren't going well, to withdraw & "hibernate" so to speak. But I think when you're encountering difficulties is the most important time to reach out for help. My best wishes to you...

Recent days school students are totally stress-out about academic tasks. Their head is overloaded with daily schedules and online essay writing services are becoming the best helping hand in this struggling situation.

Don't get panic when you face your exam or assignment writing..if you feel stressed or depressed you can just try taking deep breath...do it daily atleast 10-1 times a day morning and night time...definitely you can avoid all such feelings and you will get more courage to face any difficult situations.

I'm sorry that you're feeling this way. Don't worry, it might all seem like hope is lost but there are different types of opportunity. I failed multiple of my classes because I self sabotaged myself, whenever I see a bad mark I'll feel depressed like I'm failing my parents. But right now things might be looking up for me I'm almost done my degree but my biggest headache right now is money.


You can take some courses that you know will boast up your mark and maybe question why you want this degree. For personal experience I chose the wrong degree because I was thinking that it will benefit me abroad, even though I could have took another major that has easier options. And now I regret it immensely...wasted a lot of my money because I was stubborn. I am in a similar degree that will help towards my end goal, but this took a lot of muling over and depression. It's okay, thing will look up for you too.

Anxiety and depression make it more difficult to concentrate on study than for average people. So kudos to you for almost getting through you degree despite it all.

There is a pattern here of obsessing about how useless you feel. Time to turn that around somehow. Question of finding a chink in that pattern, some way to feel ok which isn't running away.

For instance I have a pattern of self-hate which makes me sleepless and nauseous and then I crave sugar. It's a big deal - really compulsive.
I made an internal agreement to take a day off from criticising myself. When I took my day off I also stopped wanting sugar, and bizarrely, the next morning the self-criticism was less obsessive. That was my chink: to purposely take one (weekend) day of being gentle and non-self-hating.
