I don't think I can do school anymore. I just don't care about doing any of the work. I think I should be okay-ish once I start a career but anything between now and then is straight up painful. I want to take a leave of absence but I can't go back home because that'd be even worse than staying in school. What should I do?

Then again I've been lowering my standards every single semester so I'm not sure how much lower they can get.

yeah. I'm aware that once I drop out it's unlikely I'll come back, and that's what's making me hesitate. I know that life will really suck as a college dropout. But the thing is, I *am* receiving treatment. Life is just objectively bad for me right now and no amount of medication is going to change reality. I may have to lower my standards for grades like you said, but that's going to bite me in the ass when I apply to law schools after finishing undergrad.
As someone who dropped out of school, and has lived with the consequences and the reality of how hard it would be to go back, I would say to pursue treatment of what you're struggling with and perhaps lower your standards a bit on grades for now, but keep going. That's the advice I wish someone had given me, anyway.
Jfc I need a break but I don't have any money. Maybe I really should try living out of a car.
I'm almost done with school I've got a year left now. I am kind of sick of my major but like I said I've got a year left so it doesn't make sense to change it now.
You need a vacation
Get a job and move somewhere you can afford. If you no school isn’t for you don’t force it but if you can’t go home because home is worse then school has to still be an option.. Do you think changing your major would help? Do something fun like art or something hell? Lol idk it’s worth a shot
