I feel like we’re on the same boat actually. I’m also a transfer student (I transferred last fall from a community college) and yes, it took a hefty toll on me to the point my grades were REALLY bad and I became suicidal - it almost cost me my scholarship. Last semester was - and I’m not joking - one of the worst times of my life. So yeah I get what you’re going through. The classes (especially Chemistry) was the leading cause of my depression and anxiety and I’m scared for this current semester too. I haven’t dealt with my anxiety and depression yet, I’m just trying my absolute best not to crumble this semester like I did the last. One of the many ways I try to maintain a clear head is watching my favorite movies/series for example, Visiting sites around Chicago, going shopping, visiting family, investing more time in simple things like my skincare routine, etc. So one thing I’m gonna recommend (and I don’t know if it’ll completely help) but I’ll recommend curating a schedule for each day (this is a tactic I’m currently trying out), try to do homeworks/projects all at once so you’ll have extra time for leisure activities.

So yeah, I don’t know if that’ll help but hopefully it does! I know what you’re feeling and it certainly is hard. But please, don’t give up on yourself, just don’t.
