I’ve had diagnosed anxiety for quite a few years now and have been on medication, I recently was diagnosed with depression and my medication has just been upped. 

The problem is, is that I’m a second year uni student and I’m finding life really hard at the moment. For context, I’m living at home with my family. 

I never really wanted to go to uni to be perfectly honest but after a really good first year I was super motivated to continue at it. My family were really happy as it’s the first time my mental health had seemed okay. So for second year I transferred to a uni closer to home and it’s been horrific. 

I’ve struggled with every single moment - I feel like I physically can’t go into uni without having a panic attack, my hair is falling out from the stress, I’m losing weight and I just don’t feel myself.

To be brutally honest I want to drop out, I’m only in week 11 but I genuinely can’t take it anymore. I have no friends here and my lecturers don’t care and in fact have given me an even harder time. All I want to do is sleep all day and just give up on everything. I’ve tried reporting them but the uni doesn’t care.

Everyone I’ve spoken to has told me that dropping out is an awful idea and that life in an apprenticeship/work would be a waste of the qualifications I have and I would deal even worse with that.

But I’m at the end of my tether and I just need some advice or moral support.
