I'm at a very depressive stage in my life

2 months ago · 2 · Stress, +1

I'm a college student and the academic pressure under which I'm us very very immense, I know that I'm mentally very strong but every now and then when I look at my situation, it just breaks me down completely. My field of study is completely different from what I love to do and believe me am actually good and doing well in what I love to do.... but at the same time I actually have to do well in my academics but the better I am in my field of interest, the worse I'm in my actual academic field of study.

    You say you are in a very depressing stage of life because of your attitude. If you look at this stage with a positive point of view you wouldn't say this. Even if your field of study is different from what you love what matters is that you are capable of doing it. If you are doing well with this course that is a plus so don't beat yourself up.

    As humans, we are always too hard on ourselves. You should be proud of yourself! To go into a study where it's not your thing, it's outside your comfort zone is incredible and not many people would want to do it/could do it. Heal with time, take it day by day and anytime you feel overwhelmed or you feel like you're out of control just close your eyes and count back from 5. I know you've got this, you just need some extra support to help you along the way..

    Keep studying, work hard and you will reap the benefits.

    I wish you all the best, you got this.
