I had medicine for anxiety/stress and sleep problems, but for the depression, my doctor wanted to prescribe me something, but I wasn't sure...so I said I need time to decide and didn't get back. Therapy was suggested to me by the counsellor too, but I went for a short term fix with the anxiety medication so I could complete this first project...it didn't work, helped me sleep for a couple of nights better, but doesn't seem to work any more. :/
I guess I should register for a counselling again.
I'm on a masters course and have funding to continue to a PhD afterwards, however I've been finding it incredibly difficult to focus and lacking in confidence. It's in Engineering.
In fact I'm already on an extension for my first project report and I skipped on the presentation since I couldn't deal with the high anxiety/stress. I have depression also which is bad some days and other days I can be ok enough to go into uni to do my work.
It's not that I'm not capable enough, I am. It's just I expect so much from myself that it's never good enough, I realise I do this, but it still gets me down. which then in turn actually disables me.
Now, I'm just thinking I'm going to fail it anyway and I've messed up so much, all my supervisors know >.< how terrible I can become with not going into uni enough, and just hiding away in my room not wanting to interact with people. :-(
I don't know whether to just give up already or keep going? I only have less than 2 months left, 1 whole project to complete and another project write up to complete. Is it possible? Or am is it beyond repair and I should just drop it and change career paths?
Not sure why I'm writing this, wondering if anyone else can relate I guess?
