Hi, I am currently in a cc, and I really cant get out of my depressive state. I have severe depression (for over 5 years) with some physical health stuff and it really inhibits my ability to study. I'm only in my second year and already dropped out of 4 classes and barely finished the rest but so far my grades are pretty ok.

I'm only part time now so the fact that I'm still struggling is quite embarrassing and shameful. I'm taking ssri's but I'm not sure they are helping.

I dont know what im even looking for from this post because the obvious answer is to cure depression but I just want to know it anyone else is also struggling with this.

Edit thank you all for your advice :)

Now what’s next? Research opportunities rejecting me, Student government rejecting me, internships and jobs like spring forward rejecting me?

God I feel like an outcast here. Even worst than in high school.

I don’t even understand how this bum ahh school managed to have a large recruiting class for baseball. The baseball team is top 33%.

“Join clubs” yeah but I want to make an impact and just don’t want to be invisible.

I’m not in Macaulay honors since I’m too dumb for that.

career foward
