I still don't know what my issues are, if any, beyond anxiety. In college, I was experiencing depression though but it felt normal to me. If I hadn't been dealing with so many other extraneous things, I might have done better in college & been able to stay the course. It was just too much for me to handle.
...swimming against the current, and thinking I was the only one struggling that hard. omg, yes, this! And now even just you saying this makes me feel validation for what I was going through then. I had no support. At least I had the wherewithal to go ahead & drop out, knowing I was struggling too much. I just forged ahead with life & closed that chapter behind me. I never knew what I wanted to do as a career anyway. The jobs my interests pointed me to didn't interest me at all. I still don't know what my niche is. The thought of going back to school doesn't interest me either. But without a degree, I'm dead in the water. It's terrifying to think about, so I try not to lol.
