[Discussion] In complete shut down mode at university, I think it might be time to leave?

I'm a second year student and have been wanting to leave for over a year now, but have been talked out of it by teachers and peers because they have some sort of misguided belief in me. I feel like it might really be time, though.

I have no motivation. Even with extensions and allowances, I can't bring myself to do anything. I got through first year because of the immense support from my parents and doctors. At this point it just seems like a waste of time because I can barely look after myself, I'm extremely fortunate that my parents can visit frequently and sort things out.

I'm afraid of leaving and feeling even more depressed at home, and I'm afraid that this will feel like a defeat that will haunt me. I'll be flaking out on my friends who I was planning to live with and I don't want to put them through having to find another housemate this late during the year.

What I want to do with my life doesn't require a degree, but what if I cant structure my life without university? I don't have a solid plan B, I was just thinking I could take a breather at home and then make a plan when my head is clearer and I don't have the pressure of uni work? I don't know what the right thing to do is.

Any thoughts or advice will be much appreciated 😭
