Hi all,
I'm a first year CS student in my first semester and I am stressed out over the amount of work they are making me do up to the point of depression, isolation and lack of sleep due to either studying or working with not much in between. Stopped spending time with friends and family, stopped working out, lost the ability to think as my brain feels very overloaded with information.
I am neutral about CS and coding which the intense work is not turning for the better. I am constantly stopping myself to assess if I'm doing the right thing studying otherwise I go full depressed with no joy in my life at all whatsoever so I'm running in autopilot mode now. I have been doing my coursework every single day for the past I cant even track time how long, my eyes are constantly red and my back is starting to bend like a hook. Barely eating or leaving the house, even though I was going to places throughout the whole of summer doing many interesting thigs being open to the world and now I'm back living my lonely life again.
I'm thinking about changing to an easier degree such as Business Management with or without finance to be able to breathe and have some time and fun for myself and my friends and family. Any suggestions or ideas on what I should do? Would it be a mistake to change?
