Hello Dainuvite.
It has been some years since I went to uni. So, my situation isn't exactly the same but I can relate to feeling burnt out at times, feeling less creative,  or feeling like I can barely function. 

I can function well enough to go to work & pay the bills but at home I feel exhausted & cry. One of the ways I cope is by participating in a virtual support group. I actually joined my first online support group in uni because it was convenient. I didn't have a car & I could participate from my dorm room! With the pandemic, there are even more support groups available digitally. 

Your uni may also offer free counseling services to students. Even if yours doesn't, the student health center may be able to refer you to someone.

Yes, I think my university does offer some counseling services. I am thinking of doing that this year or at least try to. Just have to get the guts to sign up for it lol
This is actually my second try at university - my first one was in 2017 (that was a really bad time), didn't make it past freshman year. And now i'm on my second try, in 2nd year, so hopefully with the proper help it will be alright. Thank you for your advice!

Super overwhelmed with the start of a new school year. Accidentally took on way too much whilst we were in lockdown and trying to manage all that whilst going back in person is going to be a nightmare :/

THAT Bitch, dealing with work is hard, so hard for me. You mention anxiety, pressure, & intense feelings, which I am also feeling, although perhaps not as bad as you. Last week, I left early because I felt so bad. Tuesday, I went to the ER because I felt so poorly. Today, I called out sick because I have intense depression & anxiety. I barely slept. My partner thinks I got "microsleep" or "micronaps" or something like that in between my anxious thoughts over night. He repeatedly told me to stay in bed until 10:30 today, which felt impossible. He gave up telling me that before 10, because I think he realized I was literally incapable of getting good quality sleep when my anxiety is this intense.
Are you also having trouble sleeping?

Thanks for sharing, Sarah!

For anyone who doesn't want to click through, basically, 10 October 2021 was named World Mental Health Day because it's been 18 months since COVID-19 was recognized as a global pandemic. The pandemic has caused mental health challenges for everyone. The World Health Organization (WHO) organized World Mental Health Day to call attention to mental health challenges & the needs for more accessible mental health care.
