Miserable College Student
Are any other college students absolutely miserable? I am a sophomore in college, and I hate absolutely hate life - like it is hard to get myself to do anything. I don't know how I am going to handle recruiting this spring for SA when I have 0 energy and feel like I just want to curl into a ball and die.
And yes, I have sought professional help for what has been years now. It just seems to get worse and worse. Thousands of dollars on this therapy nonsense and no relief. It is a Saturday night, and I know tomorrow is going to be hell because I have so much work I need to get done tomorrow. All of this work that I need to do and none of it interests me even slightly. Maybe I should drop out of college and be a vagrant or something.
I will preface by saying I'm sure you have answered these many times, and may be annoyed about doing so, but...
How is your health in general? Have you tried medication?
I want to help if I can. I've gone through similar shit.
Another point: Part of the issue may be that none of the work is interesting to you. I promise you, you can study what you want and still be good career-wise. I study a humanities subject and still get plenty of consulting and finance interviews.
I think my health is fine. I used to be a D1 athlete at my college, but I ended up quitting. I still workout everyday, and I do not take drugs or alcohol. I am not interested in any of the majors at my college.
To put it bluntly, I am a pretty dull guy, so I do not think there is an academic discipline that I would enjoy.
Are you studying something you don’t enjoy? Maybe take a year off to be a bit more introspective to truly understand what you want to do with your life then go back to school in the appropriate major
Yea, the problem is I do not enjoy any of the concentrations offered at my college. I have never liked learning. I did the year off thing already, and that is how I discovered investment banking. At some point, if I just take time off until I feel better, I am going to be taking time off for the rest of my life.
Serious advice - consult a therapist. It sounds like you're dealing with issues which span far beyond your career track type of grievances.
Only a retard doubles down on something that obviously doesn't work
In such situations, I prefer to travel. It always helps to cope with depression.
