Taking a year out of Uni

Hi all,

I’m in my second year and have been struggling immensely with my mental health - i’ve always had problems with low mood and anxiety but it’s gotten to the point where i don’t really see the point in anything anymore and every little thing is overwhelming. i have adhd and suspected autism and ive been in a state of burnout for probably a lot longer than i have realised and have recently been diagnosed with reactive depression.

anyways im going to try and finish this year but then take a year out before third year. i wondered if anyone had advice on what i should fill my time with so that i can get better instead of worse and recover from this burnout and depression. i always feel guilty for resting no matter if i have work to do or not so with a whole year of rest im really not sure how to look after myself.

thanks <3
