If you are mentally ill and rotting away in your parent's

It didn't work out for me, it just made me more lazy with no one to check on me. I dropped out and got a temporary job so I don't feel awful about sitting at home all the time

PS Ben is my spirit animal

I attempted a semester of university here where I live but it went incredibly poorly due to many bad events out of my control, and then things in my control that I did to cope with those events.

Now I am getting help for my illnesses but I don't think I can stay out of school and feeling useless for this many months, and I really think a completely new start somewhere else, maybe even another country, would be good for me.

I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out for you though, that is too bad, I will keep it in mind.

I actually got double fucked because after I moved to study I started having problems with gender dysphoria and depression. But if I try to talk about it with my parents, they'll shrug it off and tell me it's an excuse for my bad performance.

I hope this will work out for you though!

why not, sounds like your parents got you covered either way

>be me
>decent social life in highschool (no GF though), small range of activities related to school
>decide to go to uni because I want to meet more people, take control of my life and stop slacking off
>6 months later
>didn't do litterally anything but going to class and shitposting in my free time
>the only 5 people i managed to communicate with are an old childhood friend I met in uni and the few people he introduced to me
>shit grades

The lesson is: if you want to take control of your life do something you're convinced with. Just throwing yourself into a dorm room doesn't mean to take control

That's a tough break anon, I'm sorry to hear that my friend. I hope things are going better nowadays, or getting better at the very least.

Thank you very much for the advice!

They are extremely disappointed in me, rightfully, since I excelled in high school but my issues got to me after that.

I'm not really going for the social aspect, I get along just fine on my own, but I really need to go to university to get my career and future started.

It's more like my current situation but talking on the Internet helps a lot actually, I have some hope for the future. Good luck!

Bump for some more advice or stories about similar situations

as a 25 y/o, i would suggest you do move into the dorms (you probably will be required to your first year). The thing is, you have to make a conscious and sustained effort to break out of your comfort zones and make social connections. I know that phrases probably repulses you but having people in your life is way better than having nobody at all.

I started off with a pretty solid social group, but i acted like a selfish, utilitarian faggot and basically used people until they marginalized me.

Don't be like me.
