Well, what is making you so depressed? Think about it.


I was taking 21 units my first semester in college. I felt badass, but that quickly crash and burned after I slipped into a depression.

School is difficult and you have to recognize that your body cannot be under constant pressure/stress.

You need sleep, enjoyment and relaxation.

After the second year, I sought professional help which lead me to antidepressants. They helped.

I also saw a therapist that helped me rationalize my worries and negative thoughts.

School is doable, very. I'm still in school... although, I didn't do too well my first year. It was something to learn from.

We all have different ways to cope. I suggest you spend some time trying to figure yourself out...

Try to figure out what is causing your depression and I'm sure you'll come to a conclusion soon.
