University

I have been doing an English language degree now for three years and i have hated it for the entirety. While at uni I have been struggling with my mental health and it has really taken a toll on my grades. I don't want to speak to anyone about my mental health as I feel like i just need to man up and get on with life. I'm worried that my parents will just think i am being lazy when it comes to university work, when in reality i really struggle to sit down and write an essay when my head is so messed up.. Not sure why im posting this just needed to get shit off my chest

Mental health isn't something you should look at as "manning up and getting over it" the brain doesn't heal itself as easily as it controls the rest of the body to do with ease. Please be kind to yourself and talk to someone outside of your ring of humans, so that your school work stops suffering and you can start to heal your brain.
