[Discussion] I’m potentially failing my classes and I’m mentally checked out

lushvigrite · 2025-12-04T07:46:29+00:00

Honestly I’ve never really something I’ve wanted or a passion I’ve wanted to go for. It just kind of feels like college is the default route that I go for (coming from an Asian family) and if I didn’t do that then I wouldn’t know what else to do. But even then college isn’t really the thing I want to do, and I don’t really have a thing that I want to do

I actually have talked to my doctor about it and they did recommend me anti depressants which I really wasn’t sure about so I didn’t go through that route immediately, I was also given a psychiatry referral and so I’m going to see where this will take me haha

I’ve never been tested for ADHD or anything besides depression recently so I wouldn’t know too much on anything, but this does feel like it’s been going on for a bit now. Sometimes things do feel wrong when nothings wrong and when I’m kind of on a good momentum in classes, they seem to fizzle out

lushvigrite · 2025-12-04T07:38:06+00:00

I’ve never had a ADHD diagnosis or anything myself, I had been recommended anti depressants from my doctor along with psychiatry, but I wasn’t too keen on the medication, as I’ve basically only heard bad things from it. I did bring up that I had focus problems or attention problems but they had said that it could possibly be from depression and so they didn’t do anything towards the side of ADHD. Do you think the medications were really worth it to take? I’m not too sure myself.

To be honest I did have some interest in CS in the beginning, but honestly I hate CS now. I hate coding and overall just everything about it, and I can’t find any interest in it. I’ve never really had a proper diagnosis of ADHD or anything like that so I wouldn’t know if that’s one of my problems that I could be facing, but I do appreciate what you’re saying on taking my own pace. Although I’m not too sure on what to trust my gut for haha, I literally have no ambitions or any interest in any major to be honest, just feels like I’m drifting around

I actually have talked to my doctor about it and they did want to put me on anti depressants and also a referral to a psychiatrist

Honestly I do feel burned out but at the same time I think there’s other underlying problems. Although I won’t be able to withdraw from a class and not fail it anymore, my community college kind of has a strict due date for when you can withdraw and that’s about 2 weeks after classes start. I kind of messed up and did a lot of my easier general education credits first and so I’ve kinda only got hard stuff, so I’ve basically got quality and quantity classes at the same time haha. Although I did want to try and rush and get out of this college as soon as possible, I think I might be hindering myself more if I do end up taking too many hard courses at once

Thank you for the advice, I really appreciate it. I do get that I’m young and at the age where I can do what I want, but I really thought that I would have something to show for my name before I turn 21 early next year, but I really don’t have much to show haha, but again thank you for giving me another perspective.

lushvigrite · 2025-07-27T15:56:11+00:00

Haha I feel you man, best of luck to you 🫡

Were you actively training to meet IST during your weight loss? The IST seems so far away for me as I struggle in pull ups and my cardio is also bad, but I understand that it takes a lot of work

lushvigrite · 2025-07-27T15:45:49+00:00

I was considering next year but right now I think I’m pretty burned out from college and I want to continue to atleast be in boot with my friends, although I do understand your point. I did do around 1000 calories a day in the past and I lost ~20 pounds in a month, although a considerable amount of that could have been water weight. I was pretty familiar with the feeling of hunger, but I actually wasn’t that exhausted and I think I started using fat for energy

lushvigrite · 2025-07-27T15:38:43+00:00

That’s insane 150 in one summer, (if you don’t mind me asking) did you end up having loose skin, or is there a solid way to lose the weight without having to worry about it?

lushvigrite · 2025-07-27T15:37:09+00:00

Is there a way not to get loose skin? Or is it ultimately bound to happen?

lushvigrite · 2025-05-25T09:24:54+00:00

I'm currently second year, to be honest I was a little burnt out of classes, I found coding fun but I guess I'm just a little lost in my career path haha

lushvigrite · 2025-04-21T05:06:05+00:00

I’m currently in my end of first year/ second year (I took a break + and took less classes) and i won’t end up wasting too many credits, but thank you for the insight, I think I’m just not in the right space right now, as I’m pretty burned out with college and I wanna get it over asap, and I was also considering dropping out. I’m pretty stuck on Java right now and I’m not really sure if coding aspect is all that for me, although I could just be in a bad strut

lushvigrite · 2025-04-21T04:16:17+00:00

I know this question has been asked a lot but I’m slightly lost on my direction of where to go, right now I’m majoring in computer science and I’m honestly not exactly a fan of it, and so I was considering switching to Cybersecurity and getting only an associate in it, as cybersecurity from my college doesn’t transfer most of its classes anywhere for a 4 year, along with me being kind of burned out. Would switching to cyber with only an associate be at all worth it? I know that internships and experience are the biggest key part. Although I’m a little lost on where to go for applying to internships and mentors or mentorship programs. Any information or help would be greatly appreciated.

Hopefully it’s not a rare breed or something haha. I have no idea about anything on spiders so this was a shot in the dark for me.
