Grüß Gott! I feel like I know you very well. Because you sound like me a few years ago. I'm 23 and I dropped out of college in my freshman year because I met my (now) husband and knew I needed to be with him. I was very severely depressed, and felt like I was wasting my time. I do not believe in the educational system, especially at for-profit institutions like the one I was at. It got so bad that I stopped going to class, stopped going to work (which I loved), and just slept all day and made bad decisions. My friends would try and keep me on track, but nothing helped. I felt like I was at the end of my road, and was just wasting copious amounts of money. The degree I was pursing would likely have got me nowhere, but I really hope that yours will help you land a great job that you love. The thing that saved me was getting my mind right (I needed to get off my pills. I certainly do not recommend doing that without a doctors approval, but that's what I absolutely needed. I stopped everything, even my birth control[which causes depression]). Also, I discovered what truly makes me happy and gives me purpose in this life, which turns out to be as simple as being a housewife. I never could have guessed. Anyway, I don't think your problem is "mild". Being inside all day and working so hard at uncertain goals will wreck your mind. It's torturous. I feel for you. I think you need to sit down and take some time to meditate on who you really are. What you love and what keeps you going. I traveled the world, got into some crazy situations, and got to know what I like and what I don't. And when I stepped out into the real world, I realized that the smartest and most successful people usually don't finish college anyway. I hate to say that to you, but just know that nothing is off limits to you. You have this whole wide world, and the ONLY thing that matters is YOUR happiness. Travel. (Sorry if I sound like an asshole. Or condescending. I didn't mean to. I wish you the best!)
