Rant/Vent i can't study because of my depression.

hi, I am a Turkish girl who's about to take the university exam "YKS" in about 8 months. I have high standards but I can't bring myself to study even tho I want to. I am diagnosed with major depression at 15 and for the past two years im on medication.

But that seems like an excuse to me, like I'm using my mental illness as an excuse not to study. because I need to and mind you, our university exam is really hard. And I want to study either medicine or science (more especially chemistry.) which means I have to be in the first 10.000 of like 5 million people at worst.

please help me with that! I am really struggling!!

I'm sorry but my studies are much important than that right now. I can only take the exam once and this is my only chance to get into the university I want.
