      I have some tips or suggestions for dealing with them except for the job part.
      • Take breaks there’s no harm to take breaks from working. There’s science behind why your should take breaks, and book 1 or 2 days for yourself to reset, and re charge. So please don’t be hard on yourself.
      • Do meditation, yoga, exercise, positive self affirmations or have self care day to yourself to deal with depression.
      • Detox and let go of anything doesn’t serve you anymore, and doesn’t mean completely. Make sure you know how to detox anything in your life, which is draining your energy.
      • Use pleasant scents such as a candle, or humidifier for relaxation.
      • Get some sunlight because if you’re deficient in vitamin D check in with doctor, and get supplement from your doctor, and to your local pharmacy, so you can get your vitamin D. However, I still do advise to get as much sunlight.
      • Avoid people gaslighting you. Emotional manipulation morally wrong. Because it can cause lasting psychological, and spiritual impact on you, and the person as well.
      Overall, the best suggestion is change your mindset not all the way, and be gentle, and kind with yourself. Have a good day, night, or evening Monica.

    I basically failed all of my classes in the first semester of junior year. I just lost motivation. I was depressed and had anxiety. 2020 wasn't a good year at all despite covid, during that year my friend passed away and I just lost motivation. Then covid hit and everything just went bad. In the second semester I'm gonna do way better. I believe this virus will disappear.

    if you fail the 1st semester and pass the 2nd does it still count as a fail and you have to retake the class? or you wait for the average and if you pass that you dont have to retake the class
