mental health dropping

I know my mental health is dropping. It was never exactly stable in the first place.
I haven't made any friends in uni and I have no motivation to do the course I'm in. I don't enjoy it, and dont tell me to do something I do enjoy because thats the problem, I dont do anything I enjoy that could be in a course and that could result in a good paying job. I knew my whole life that I would have to be working for 2 people but I just hate everything and honestly, university was the worst thing ever.

I spoke to my parents about this but my family isn't the type to depend on emotions and they just say that it doesn't matter because as long as I can get a degree, it will be fine. My family always change their minds and behavior so its hard for me to actually tell what they want from me. Their moods and mindset changes so quickly that I've just given up talking to them about how upset I am.

I just cry all the time and my mind goes to dark places and I just don't know what to do. I have responsibilities and I just feel so stressed all the time. I do have friends from sixth form that I talk to regularly but they have a life of their own so we don't talk as much but nothing has changed between us which I'm glad for but It just kills me instead when I hear how interesting their life is and how they say that they're so happy. I barely talk about myself because theres nothing to talk about. I'm severely jealous and upset

Hi! Theres a company called Overcome that offers free coaching sessions for any issue. Its a UK NGO that trains people aspiring to be psychologists and once they pass intensive assessments, they can help you with 6 free sessions. Check them out on google, because I understand your situation is very sensitive, and its best to get support for this through coaching where somebody will listen to all your problems, and help you find a plan curated to your life to get back on track!
