Okay, just going to be honest for once; I was depressed for my sophomore and junior year in hs- fat, covid, no friends. But then my senior year of HS was the best year in my life- i got into my dream college, lost weight, got a beautiful girlfriend (still with her).
But ever since I started university (I am a sophomore now), I will be honest: I have not been happy. This is my dream college, but it is so hard, and the people around me seem smarter than me. I haven't had any internships and have had bad grades, while my friends have great internships and good grades.
I am writing this because I just took another test which I actually studied so much for but i didn't understand one question out of 5 so I'm already at a 80 (They make the tests extra hard bc Computer Science at t10 school) . I am crying right now and haven't felt good honestly since high school :( / been using drugs and stuff to cope.
IDK what to do i feel horrible and not content and have imposter syndrome; i want to win, get an internship get those grades, i feel like god doesn't want me to succeed no matter how much i put in the effort; I have been trying to stay stoic but this test i just took and honestly this semester made me break down; please help any advice is appreciated
