Rant - anxiety, loneliness, dropping out of uni

...See more Hi everyone! I am new to this app so I don't really know how it works, however, i decided to give this app a shot. Sorry for any potential mistakes, English isn't my first language. Lately, I haven't been doing really well. My anxiety was, is, and probably always will be there. It often controls my life and I am tired of how much impact it has on me. Not that long ago I have made a very hard decision - I dropped out of uni. Anxiety wasn't the biggest reason why but to some extent it played a role too. My uni wasn't really for me. I didn't like my course and I haven't made any friends as well. I am very reserved and don't let people in easily so I am aware that Im doing this to myself. At uni, I was just constantly in my dorm room, alone. I felt like what I was learning was just not for me and honestly i wasn't good at it as well. So I made the decision to leave and next year I will be pursuing a different degree. I do not know how it works in the US or some other countries but I have studied a Bachelor degree and now I am applying to a school where there is a degree which is less than BA, which is honestly one of the reasons I am so worried about my future,but idk i feel like the few months here really destroyed me if that makes sense. I never knew what I wanted to be in life and to put it quite frankly my choice of the uni course was done on a whim. I don’t really have hobbies, things to be interested in and I don’t know how to find those things. It just feels like there isn't anything for me here that would actually make me feel happy. Sometimes I feel like I am just floating here on Earth, that I am surviving, but not living, not enjoying the possibilities of world due to my anxiety, loneliness or perhaps cause of my whole character. Also, I am often hard on myself and have these expectations that I cannot fulfil. Since I have made my decision to leave uni I have been feeling extremely guilty, ashamed, and embarrassed that I am unable to continue with my uni course, that I am so weak that I just can't suck it up and get the degree. I feel like I failed people around me but most of all I failed myself. Sorry for my rant. I realize this text is quite inconsistent but I just wanted to share my feelings.
