Hello guys, long time lurker, first time poster.
I'm absolutely devastated by how my life has gone from perfect to **** in 3 years. I am a rising senior at a top 20 school. Long story short, I was diagnosed with GAD my sophomore year after years of not knowing what was wrong with me. I honestly didn't even know what anxiety really was until college. It didn't affect my life too much until college. I maintained friends and great grades.
In college, as classes got harder, my grades got worse. The worst part is knowing you're not giving life 100%.
I haven't made any friends in college. I gained 30 lbs and wasn't skinny to begin with...
I wanted to do research so badly in college but didn't. My ECs are weak compared to any other premed at my school.
I ****ed up by being stubborn and not switching to an easier major before I figured **** out.
I finally started getting help this spring on my own dime since my college's mental health is infamous for turning people away. That being said, after many SSRIs there is no improvement and I know it won't be an instant fix... but I am starting to feel hopeless. I'm just wondering if I should give up and turn to a different career?
sGPA: 3.10 (w/o CC classes: 2.90)
cGPA: 3.20 (w/ CC classes: higher)
I know I will have to do grade replacement and go DO, but that's not my concern right now. I can't retake classes if I'm just going to do badly.
