Has anyone taken a break from uni for mental health reasons? Is it worth losing an entire year? I feel like I can't go on anymore yet can't afford to lose an year either.

I tried to go on and continue for 2 years, despite my mental health issues. I ended up failing all my classes, 2 years in a row, and ended up getting kicked out of uni for shit grades. I wish I had taken a year off of uni and recovered from my mental illness

I'm sorry. That sucks. Hope you are doing ok now.

yeah, I'm on Jow Forums, but I mostly recovered from my mental illness. Sucks having to re-apply to colleges, but at least some of my college classes will count in my new degree

nice

Do you think sitting at home and doing nothing will be better for your mental health?

depends on what is causing his mental stress, a year of sitting at home could help

If by taking a break you mean: getting a hob by lying what year of uni I'm in.
And if my mental issues you mean thinking that learning math is for chumps.
Then yes, I have.

drop out of uni for my mental health

If you can't make it through university without having a mental breakdown you stand zero chance in the real world.
Just dropout entirely and go manual labor.

weirdly enough, I sat at home doing nothing for an year before joining uni. Feel like doing it again but I doubt its gonna help since I don't exactly know what is wrong with me.

why is mental illness so common nowadays?

Cant people just have a stiff upper lip?

Your post is retarded. You are saying you won't make it in the real world without having a breakdown? Are you stupid
Also manual labor and working is NOTHING compared to the anxiety and stress from school. Physical exhaustion is nothing. Getting fired means nothing you can find another job no big deal. Getting a bad grade or failing a class is life changing. If you disagree you're probably some English majorfag

Feels good.

no non sono il fruttolo poster

some years backI decided to soldier on for two years despite being very sickly and tired.
Lost those two years and another two to get back to proper health. Now I'm finishing what I started and despite being bellow most of my former peers, I managed to catch up a bit since I'm "mature" and "reliable" compared to the younger students.

Next year I'll probably get a scholarship to do investigation, but since poortugal is poor as shit, I'm not really counting on it.

the worse part tends to be things like long commutes combined with extra work added in the last minute because reasons (I learned to hate physicist-teachers because of that bulshit). Even though I'm technicaly doing a bachelor's I'm pretty much spending most of my days working, even on the weekend, since I don't like to pass on deadlines

kya ho gaya bhai? ladki ne reject kar diya toh depress ho gaye?

kek

Gap year for anxiety here

lol no. Ladki hai hi nahi to reject kaha se karegi.

People take gap years here more harshly than they do in western countries sadly. I'm most likely to not get a job even if I somehow manage to graduate.

i'm like 4 years behind schedule. i'm in post worry phase. education doesn't matter as much la(other than a good kickstart)

Don't you worry about getting a job/homelessness?

Just become a professional NEET
I've got no plan for a job

sometimes doing 1-2 3 months course can fetch you a job. these days employers prefer skills over degree freshers. because fresh graduates need to be trained.
anyway that's just a cushion. i don't want to be a wagie anymore. will find something fun to do with the internet. i mean in the west people jsut consider degree an extra feather in the cap. that's not the scenario in india but with self employment it can be achieved
i know easier said than done but whatever

I continued college despite my mental health issues and graduated. However these issues kept me from getting a job after I graduated. I eventually worked them out and started working a year after graduating.

you or your parents must be loaded. My only other option would be to take care of my boomer parents and survive on whatever rent money they get if at all, after dad retires in a year or two. Pretty depressing.

Losing your job when you’re living paycheck to paycheck can be a fucking death sentence. Not everyone has rich family they can fall back on when when shit like that happens

Check your privilege sweaty :^)

I took 1 year off to work illegally in the US

Think big. In the era of 4G there are no limits. Don't aim at one thing. You can do multiple things at once
