I started college in september and every single day has been a living nightmare
I hate all of my subjects, I hate all of my teachers, I hate the building, I hate everything about it
I'm doing Graphic Design, Criminology and ICT
I dont enjoy any of these subjects, but I dont enjoy any other subjects and I dont enjoy anything at all
College has driven me to a point of suicidal thoughts and every attempt I've made to drop out has been a dead end
I feel completely trapped in college and theres absolutely nothing I can do, and it's too late to switch subjects
I dont know what to do

Reapply to new college for next September.
Do a completely different course.
Or apply for an apprenticeship.
Don't force yourself to go if you are genuinely finding it that awful.

You're probably going to have to stick it out for this year. Do make a plan before you attempt to drop out though.
Apprenticeships seem like the best choice for you, if you're bored with working with your fingers like I am.
If you like taking risks, you could just not attend College at all, something might be done to disenroll you, they might give you warnings, who knows...
Always have a backup plan if things don't go your way.
I have suicidal thoughts, I let them engross my mind, think of it as a thought and nothing else. There are likely to be other things leading to these thoughts.

To be honest the quicker you get it over with the quicker you'll be done, I know mental health is definitely more important, but taking things like a gap year will just make you do college again the year after and you'll just be there for longer and you might even feel worse because your friends are at University and you're with people younger than you.
I think it's a common problem but It's best just to get it over and done with.
Sorry if you didn't find this helpful

Okay well that's a bit different then.. if you're doing 3 A Levels instead of a college course that's different, but if you're not planning on going to university then I guess you could do an apprenticeship or something. You're better off doing an apprenticeship and get work experience from a job you want then do A Levels and not be able to use them

i'm not too familiar with how a levels work but is there no way for you to self study at home and give yourself time to figure out what you enjoy?

I'm not sure, but I am speaking to some wellbeing advisers in the college at the moment so I guess it might be possible
