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?

      I've got a year left but I swear to god if I hear "you're almost done! Just hang in there and tough it out!" I'm going to fucking lose it

        @John_Doe lmfao, I get it! I’m just get over this rn. First of all, see what damage you’ve done to your grades. Second, talk to your professors and full on tell them what’s going on. They’re people and every time this happens to me they’re usually willing to accommodate to you. Just getting the idea that the only option is failure off your chest should help. Third, forgive yourself. Relax. What you’re doing rn isn’t working, you’ve realized that, that’s the hard part. So start doing something different! Try different clubs, work out more or less, do something you usually never work, hang out with people more or less, try meeting different kinds of people, talk to the people next to you in your classes. The more you integrate yourself into school and make it a positive space, the less unbearable it is to be there. I’m trying rn. So hard. I’m going to get through this semester and the next year because I have to. But also, there’s a freedom in knowing that we could quit anytime we want to. But you choose not to. Not everyone makes it to college, you can feel proud to be there. Good luck 🍀
