Question by Katie Isaacs: I’m depressed and can’t cope with college…?
I’m depressed and can’t cope with my college work. I leave it to the last minute and sometimes can’t do it full stop. In high school, I was an A* student and got 2 As and 8 A*s in my GCSEs, but I can’t cope anymore.
I saw my doctor, and she took my off “The” Pill and put me onto another, thinking that my hormomes might have been affected by it. Well, two and a half months later, I feel the same, if not worse.
I don’t know what to do. I told my tutor that I was depressed and was finding things hard and she told me that she wasn’t going to go easy on me (which by her definition means that she won’t let me off even slightly) and it’s killing me. She recommended that I see the school counceller, which I am, but it’s not enough to speak to someone an hour a week and then go back to pretending like nothing’s wrong. I wouldn’t do it, but I think about killing myself regularly.I struggle to get up some mornings, and my coursework and homework is just weighing me down.
What should I do?

The academic life is not for everyone. If you aren’t happy in college, you aren’t getting anything out of it. Drop out and get a job.
