I think this is a question only you and you alone are best equipped to answer.

Good luck.

If you fear you may not do well you may have to drop and wait.

I had to withdraw from college for my depression/anxiety and I could not concentrate at all. I hope to get back to college in the next one to two years. I also had to drop out twice.

My counselor says your mental health has to come first. There is always time to go back to school later.

I always tell people never give up. But only you know what is best for you

I would go and speak to your adviser or dean...Someone that can answer your questions as far as what happens when you leave the program. Hopefully you can take a break and then re enter the program where you left off. There is nothing wrong with taking mental breaks in college, sometimes we just are not ready. Something you can think about is making a date for when you plan to return again with the school so you don't have to worry about finding the motivation to re enter when you think you are ready. Also, usually you don't have to start paying back the school until 6-9 months after you leave, so if you go back before that then you would be ok.

I decided to delay school for a while and if I get better I will go back to school. I think I need to take care of me first. I can always go back to school.

Can you take a break? Does your school have any support? Could you talk to a tutor before making the decision. I think it is your choice, but you and your health (mental and phsyical) is most important, school will be there always, but there is only one you, look after yourself.

If you don't want to succeed, then you should quit. That is the best way to fail, that I know of.

Instead, I encourage you to re-evaluate your goals, and remind yourself of the reward of completing school. If it still adds up, remember the importance of studying and why you are doing it. Maybe you will be able to concentrate more.

i think you need to choose to go or not go ~ asking a bunch of strangers is not a good idea.

How far along are you in this field of study? Maybe quitting school is not the answer. Maybe changing majors is.

Do NOT quit!! You can do it, I promise!!

I have finally made it to my last year of university and I can't tell you how many times I was on the verge of giving up and quitting because I was too damned depressed and unable to concentrate.

I know it's hard. It's damn near impossible. But you've just got to keep trying. If you don't you'll just end up disappointed in yourself and even more depressed. That was the motivation that has kept me going for the past 4 years.

If you are having a lot of difficulty, don't be ashamed to speak to your professors in private about the issue. Most of them will be understanding and willing to accommodate to your needs. I have had to do this a few times - it is nothing to be ashamed of.
