I dropped out of University to pursue my passion: digital art! Here's my latest piece; Agent 47!

The fact that I was officially diagnosed with 'severe depression' and have been on a daily dose of 30mg of Citalopram for the past 2 months, prior to that being on Sertraline for around 2 months until it proved not as effective as anti depressants can be, then yes, I would say I have suffered from depression.

Actually if you read my past comments properly you'll have noticed that I said it depends on your responsibilities, some people have families to look after and it's not completely legible.

It is actually the University system in the UK, which provide you with student loans that dont have to be paid back until you earn £21k a year. They also provide 1 year of le-way based on students who have pursued something that they dont like, or drop out due to medical circumstances.

This has been my 1 year of le-way and I can still be funded for another 3 years of education. Which is the standard length of courses in the UK, so.. Yes, I can just change degree, actually there is an entire system in place for it.

I went to university for Mechanical Engineering, I am academically able to do it, I have excellent grades in maths and physics, and logically it seemed like a smart choice at the time. Get a good job with lots of money, do my art on the side. But it didn't work out that way. The 6 months I was on the course I didn't touch my tablet once, I wasn't passionate about the course and I started to get really unhappy, to the point of having dark thoughts, and yes, attempting suicide where which the closest person in my life helped me through.

And yes, you are just an asshole on the internet who is misinformed and can't string together a valid point to probably save your life.

Have a good day, I know I will.
