I’m a 3rd year veterinary student and will be going into final year as long as I pass my upcoming final exams.
I've been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder for a while and was getting through vet school with it previous years. But in addition to that I just got diagnosed with depression a few weeks ago, and have really slacked on my studying this entire semester I think as a result of the depression. I’m no where near prepared for exams which start next week and am worried I’m going to fail them all. I’m still having trouble getting motivated and its a struggle to even get out of bed most days.
I’m seriously considering just dropping out of vet school all together even though this is the only career I’ve ever wanted and used to enjoy. I just feel so defeated and done and want to do nothing and not exist. But at the same time if I quit now I’m going to feel like such a failure and be an embarrassment to myself and my family especially with how close I am to being done and the amount of debt I’ve gone into for this degree.
I just don’t know what to do or how to study in the limited time I have left to actually make it through this semester and onto clinical rotations next year.
Any advice?
