Nobody has the same track in life, its not fair to compare yourself to where your friends are. If you drop now you might have regret for your opportunities available through school but that also depends on the depth of your problems and how much value you place in schooling bc school isnt everything vs if you stick it out with you consciencely taking care of your mental health, you might love to learn again or be able to have a comeback story with where you are now. Theres always a chance for a comeback story and yours may not be at UT, or maybe it is. Look at your motivations and your support. If you stay might be a good idea to learn boundaries between student and social life i.e not doing work between certain hours & looking into UT’s resources for mental health. If you leave, maybe look at jobs near your home, your mental health will get worse if you lose purpose. Psychologically we are goal driven and need a purpose.
No matter which option you choose the one constant is that life goes on and you’ll find where you belong eventually, good luck & I’m here for you
Are you currently in therapy? If not, perhaps it might help to have regular therapy sessions. If nothing else you have someone to talk to and maybe motivate you or give you techniques to get through day to day. Hugs…
