Question about sophomore slump

tw for depression and suicidal thoughts

Okay so basically i’m going to be in my sophomore year after the summer is over and i’ve had depression since late 6th grade. I hear EVERYBODY talking about how bad sophomore slump is and just wanna know if it will get worse than it already is, im hoping that the people who talk about sophomore slump being hell are just people who had never experienced depression because my 9th grade year was already pretty bad, like to the point i got hospitalized for being suicidal so im just really hoping that sophomore slump doesn’t get worse. For context since seventh grade ive had really bad work ethic and procrastination for a multitude of reasons but also partially because it’s hard for me to focus in class and the motivation isn’t there. So i just wanna know if anybody has any tips, advice, or just an answer to the question: will it get worse?
