#MentalHealth #Neurosis #University #LifeChallenges
Hey there! 🌟 If you’re a 19-year-old male who is struggling with dropping out of university due to neurosis, you’re not alone. It’s important to remember that your mental health is just as important as your academic pursuits. Here are some possible solutions and next steps to consider:
– Seek professional help: Consider reaching out to a therapist or counselor who can provide support and guidance tailored to your specific needs.
– Prioritize self-care: Focus on taking care of yourself by incorporating activities that promote relaxation and reduce stress, such as meditation, yoga, or exercise.
– Build a support system: Don’t hesitate to lean on friends, family, or support groups for emotional support during this challenging time.
– Explore alternative education options: Consider taking a break from traditional academia and exploring alternative paths such as online courses, vocational training, or internships that align with your interests and career goals.
Remember, it’s okay to take a step back and focus on your well-being. Your mental health should always come first. Hang in there, and know that there are resources and people available to help you through this difficult time. You’ve got this! 💪🌈
I would give you help, but you gotta want to help yourself. It doesn’t sound like you want to help yourself.
Find a therapist to help you with your neurosis.
I’d say if your neurosis is so bad you can’t do anything including University, then you already have your answer. Next, you should do nothing, as it’s your only option.
However, since “nothing” seems like a pretty bad option, let’s assume you can do “something” instead.
Obviously working with a therapist and psychiatrist is likely a smart idea, and something I assume you are already doing based on the fact you said you were “diagnosed with neurosis”. So the next thing you should do is talk with them about what your goals are, and come up with ideas how to pursue them.
Next, realize life is hard, and it is “unfair” for the vast majority of the people who endure it. Even though it’s “unfair”, a lot of people figure out how to enjoy it anyway. I think you just need to decide what to pursue, and do that at whatever pace you are capable of.
For me, the thing that makes me enjoy life is pursuing knowledge and just learning things, I found software engineering a decent career path for me to explore the various things I enjoy learning about. A lot of my peers learn faster and are way smarter than me, and I can never hope to catch up to them. However, my goal isn’t to be smarter than my peers, it is to pursue knowledge; that is something I can do at my own pace.
Get out of the victim mentality and take control of your life. If life was fair, deer would over-run the terrain without the bears around to eat them.
You should instead connect to your university’s student resources to get some help with managing your anxiety. If you abandon university you won’t have the help of those resources.
It might not be clear to you now because you’re only 19, but living with regret is extreme emotional labor. If you don’t get help with this you are setting yourself up for regret piled on regret making it harder than ever to get out of this hole. This extreme anxiety has a source and it is deluding your perception to the point that you are seeking escape at the cost of your future. If you give up on yourself you will create your own personal hell.
Commit to working on your mental health with a professional now rather than wasting your 20s and then finally doing it anyway in your 30s or 40s. You can’t avoid the fact that this has to be handled in order to find some peace and be in control of your life.
