This is a stupid vent, please ignore it. Its a spoilt brat who ruined a perfectly set up life with loving parents and a stable home

Within the span of 9 months, I've managed to royally fuck my life. Its not like it was going too well before, but I somehow plunged it into deep shit, so much so that its beyond recovery. I'm an idiot and want to escape by death because I'm too chicken to face my problems

I start this year with an exam period at uni and, of course, I hadn't revised thoroughly. But I did my dues in the 2 weeks leading up to exams, going in to study every day with friends and doing as much as I could. Of course, it wasn't enough and, whilst I started off relatively solid, I ended up crashing and burning by test 3 of 6. 4 and 6 were total disasters, with me having mental break downs and repeatedly writing the most corny things on the paper, things like "help me" and "I can't do this" and "I want to die". I didn't even turn up for test 5. Whilst its easy to think that this is a sign of my greater mental struggle, remind yourself that the only reason I found myself in such a predicament was because I didn't revise over the holidays

At the beginning of semester two, a friend suggested that I reach out to the student support team, something I was reluctant to do as I had done so prior, and whilst they were genuinely lovely, the idea of going back and telling them that I couldn't stay fixed, was deeply uncomfortable. However, I went to them anyway, and I believe that this was my next fatal error. I explained my situation, and they started working with me to try and get professional help from the uni, a process that took until the end of the academic year and was heavily restricted because, according to the university system, only people with specific neurodivergences can see someone regularly for mental support; I am lucky to have dyslexia, otherwise they would be unable to help at all. This was a crumby experience, but certainly not so important to this story, and probably the least of my concerns

As the semester progressed, I resolved to try and attend every lecture, a task that sounds intuitive to most, but something I had always struggled with until this point. For a course like engineering, days can be 8 hours of just lectures that are dense enough to be 3 times the length they actually are, leaving you exhausted and confused. Then on top of that, it is expected that every student do a few hours of self study to keep up; Though, my absence is nothing but a cheap excuse, and there are many that manage such a task, leaving me the fool.

I somehow lasted about 3 weeks before I burnt out, all whilst underfeeding, self harming and under sleeping. As previously mentioned, I am not right in the head, though these stupid, idiotic habits ended up screwing me over, and because of my immature desire to hurt myself, I ended up beginning a chain of events that led to my destruction. I don't quite remember what happened exactly, its all a blur, but I believe I took a rest day out of exhaustion, and that rest day became a week, then month. I am a heavy procrastinator, which basically means I'm lazy and don't work, so I didn't catch up on what I missed, and I'm too brain fucked to just go in without catching up because if my notes are out of order, I get irrationality upset. I start hating myself more than normal, I stop leaving bed, stop eating, and become a complete mess. Again, this is a self inflicted issue because I'm such a brain fucked idiot and lazy piece of shit that doesn't work or try.

The worst thing about this period, something I'm only realising now, is how I became a dopamine addicted junkie. Being in bed for months without moving, I naturally used my phone more and more for YouTube, anime, porn and all sorts of worthless things. In the past, I made a valiant effort to stay away from this kind of thing, but because of one bad period of my life, all of that work is for naught, and now I can't go a moment without this stupid phone, and now I think my brain has stopped working, even when I'm not depressed. Everyday, i feel myself turning into an animal. I dont think, i dont feel, i don't even believe, i just chase dopamine and listen to the reward centres in my brain. Ive found myself acting without intension of thought, moving only by impulse; I'll water the plants because i see a watering can, or sit on the toilet because im close to the door.

Anyway, back to the story. Things got pretty bad, and I got so pissed off at my idiot self that I decided enough was enough. There's no perfect time, no perfect method, I'm just gonna buy a rope and hang myself because I've been doing this shit for almost a decade now. Unfortunately, I forgot to account for the fact that I'm a fucking coward, and I didn't even unwrap the thing before I went crying to my friend about "depression" like an idiot. It wasn't until another two months of being shitty that I actually picked it up and said I was going to draw a line. Again, I chickened out, and ended up living before even tying the knot. It was probably the biggest mistake of my life.

Over the summer, things got better I guess. I stopped being a lazy piece of shit and got out of bed, I stopped being "depressed", things should've been better. But after all of that, my dopamine receptors are way too fucked, and my usual pessimism is way worse now, making me not even bother to try looking at material before I go back to repeat my second year. Its not like I have problems or am a victim; I'm simply a shitty piece of shit that overstayed my welcome on earth. I'm fundamentally broken, I have been from birth, and a piece of shit like me just needs to die in a fucking ditch, because what am I here for? I don't work anymore, not that I ever have, and I never will. God fucking damnit just die you stupid piece of shit. Why did you have to live? Why were you a coward? You could've died by now.

Sorry for all the yap. I'm just a bitter loser with no future, and a spoilt brat that faced a minor amount of resistance. I should be mauled to death for such ignorance and disrespect to people with real problems. I'm sorry for staining this incredible website with such bullshit, and I hope for my swift suicide, so that the world may finally be rid of such a leech

College is hard. Engineering is harder. It's not the end of the world if you flunk a semester of some of the hardest courses. Many people do.
You're still young, (presumably,) and you have time. Education doesn't have an expiration date. A few shitty semesters wont end your career. Even then, there's a billion other majors and branches with or without college.


I'm just a bitter loser with no future, and a spoilt brat that faced a minor amount of resistance. I should be mauled to death for such ignorance and disrespect to people with real problems.
Life is hard and I am tired of people pretending it isn't. We all have our own battles. You're allowed to feel this way, even if its not as bad as someone else's. Pain is still pain at the end of the day. I hope you can be a little easier on yourself if not anything else.




p.s. Sorry for reading your thread : /

I understand your situation so well buddy. I'm in a very similar situation as you (although, some things are different, there's no use explaining this to you know right? You just wanna be heard, right?)
Well, unfortunately, I haven't found a solution for myself too. I assume you want to change, you wanna be productive and not feel awful about yourself, right? I assume you wanna do something decent with your life and not feel like a failure all the time, to not feel like a spoiled brat and actually use the opportunities that come your way, right? (Correct me if I'm wrong, please)
Well, I guess you are really tired, even though you say you didn't do anything useful, you still feel tired, don't you?
I still think you deserve some help before giving everything up (although I understand your desire to end your life, I'm on the forum for the same reason)
Even though you think youre like this because of your fucked up dopamine receptors, it doesn't change the situation youre in. It doesn't matter whose fault it is for you to be like this, what's important is that you try to fix it.
If person A broke person B's leg, would the doctor heal person B's leg? Yes, of course! It's not their fault anyways!
What if person b broke their own leg on purpose, would the doctor not heal them? "Oh but, but, they put themselves in this situation!" It. doesn't. Matter. They deserve help anyways, don't they?
The same applies to you buddy. No matter whose fault it is for you to be in this situation, even if you fully believe it was your fault. You still deserve help.
And hey, I know it's hard to ask for help but, do it regardless! I don't care if it's hard for you fucking do it either way!
I'm not a doctor, but I am majoring in pharmaceutical sciences (or the equivalent major in the us) and you do not sound healthy! That's not a healthy mentality.
Do you have access to therapy at least? And I also would encourage for you to search for a psychiatrist. Sometimes we need an actual medicine to fix us (although I also haven't searched this kind of help, I know, I'm such a hypocrite)
Anyways, I truly, truly wish you the best buddy, and please, update me on your situation if you actually try and get some help.
Again, I'm not shaming you for your suicidal tendencies, I'm just as a lazy piece of suicidal shit as you (using your own words, but I don't believe you're a piece of shit! :D)

This is very kind, thank you so much. I'm sorry that you're going through something similar and I hope you find help too.

I would love therapy, and I have wanted it for a long time, but getting it is scary. Having to tell my parents about everything terrifies me, and I don't have a job so I can't pay for it myself. Hopefully I can find work soon, and get some help for my problems.

Thank you for saying I deserve help. It makes me feel a lot better. You do too :)

You're being far too hard on yourself. The world itself is a garbage hellhole, so regardless of how you feel about yourself, just remember that you aren't making it worse for being here. If anything, the world itself is the problem, because it's filled with so much horrible suffering. You haven't left a stain on this website by posting either because your struggles are just as valid as anyone else's. Engineering sounds like a very difficult thing to try and learn in college, so maybe it just isn't the right major for you. Everyone is good at different things, and that's just how it is.

When I was in college still, I went in for computer science but could barely handle the most basic programming courses. The college also wanted me to take a stupid accounting class too which made no sense. I hated it all the way through. Only classes I really enjoyed were the ones where I got to write papers about topics that interested me and a history class I took. Perhaps if I had switched to a different major I could've kept going, but I dropped out and that was a decade ago.

I really don't know what else to suggest that could help you but your thread isn't stupid and was worth reading. Hopefully you can find some way to make your life better by doing and learning things that actually interest you and make your life worth living for you.

Thank you, that means a lot. When I went to university, I was very passionate about engineering and even did projects in my spare time. I loved going online and looking things up, then trying to do them for myself. Now that I'm struggling though, multiple people have told me that it might be best to change courses, which makes me feel like I've failed myself, and wasn't good enough to be the me that my younger self wanted. In reality, I know I should grow up and do a more manageable course that will land me an average job, but it just kinda sucks. If only I was mentally stable, maybe things would be different.

with that being said, your words do still mean a lot, and you haven't upset me at all or anything like that. Just hearing someone say that my problems aren't stupid makes me feel a lot better
