I don't mean to be cliche, but it sounds like you had your "sophmore slump" a little later than most.
Yes, you should go to class! Presumably your semester is now past the point when you can add/drop classes, so its not like you have a whole lot of choice there. College life can definitely get you down sometimes, but you can't let your deep blue funk snowball into something approaching clinical depression, never mind failing grades. I'm not trying to lecture you, I speak from experience.
You might want to look into finding a decent therapist, or, if that idea is not something you want to try, maybe just a good friend you can open up to and lean on sometimes. Net banshee's right about sleep and diet, I recall too many late nights and all-nighters and crappy food way back when. It certainly didn't help my cause any, and I was never so sick as when I lived in the dorms, always coming down with some bug or another.
Maybe try meditation, yoga, or martial arts if you have a spare moment, or just running for a half-hour a day to get your blood flowing. Maybe do some more social things to take your mind off your troubles? Isolation isn't a good thing when you're down. You need human contact. Your school must have some extracurricular groups, find something you're interested in (politics, art, film, activism, what-have-you).
I know it sounds a bit trite, but I've seen people fall down that slope before (myself included). And its awful, especially if folks are trying to cheer you up or are telling you to do so. |
