Hi everyone, I am not too sure as to whether I should leave university.
I rarely enjoy university. I find it extremely and I find it so difficult to focus or care about my work. I want to become a counsellor/therapist and my Bachelors in Psychology would help when applying for graduate jobs.
However, I dislike the whole environment at university. I find that very few people are actually half decent and many have been extremely insensitive or outright offensive at times.
I've also noticed that since starting university, I have felt constantly depressed, anxious, and lacked motivation in all areas of my life. My mental health has always been difficult to deal with, and the wellbeing team at my university can only offer surface-level therapy, when my issues are deep-root.
I have literally just started making friends and we are close to the end of the second year too (my course is 3 years long). I understand that I could just stick it out, but I am finding it next to impossible to focus on work. Whenever I think about continuing education at university, I have a feelings of sadness and dread wash over me.
I am so grateful to be getting an education at university and at least have the opportunity to try this life out for myself. But, point is, I am miserable here. I know it. I don't want to disappoint my family, my new friends and myself, and I am unsure what to do if I do leave.
I just don't know what to do. Does anyone know how I can finalise my decision?
