I find it extremely debilitating, to go through such a wide range of emotions every day in spite of my meds (seroquel, sertraline, bupropion and concerta) AND have to do  everyday stuff like cleaning, trying to stay active, socialize. I'm a history undergrad and at the moment I'm on vacation. I'm way behind on my thesis due to my mental health struggles and the fact that I decided to focus on it first. I'm trying to work on my projects every day but after an hour or so I feel extremely exhausted and there are days where I'm downright drained and can't even bring myself to sit at my desk. I take concerta (long release ritalin) for  focus and it has helped a lot but everything is still very overwhelming. I focus on small victories but I feel like my mental health issues are holding me back academically. I can't even think about going into next semester and how busy I'll be. I feel like I've cut myself a lot of slack and that I've tried not to overwhelm myself (for the sake of my mental health) and by now I should've reached a point where I could work as hard as a regular college student. I feel like a failure and I've seriously considered dropping out. This is my last year and I really wanna go through with it because I'm actually passionate about what I'm doing.  

I'd like to know your stories and get a bit of advice, coping strategies. If you have experienced this, please tell me there's hope for me to have a balanced healthy life in which I'm able to pursue an academic career :) Thank you for reading through my rambling &lt;3
