Am I screwed? GPA wise :/

<p>So I'm looking at a GPA anywhere from a 2.5 to a 3.0 this semester. I'm unhappy at school and have been getting treated for depression this semester until recently, because you can only have 12 therapy sessions a year in the mental health office so I had to stop going.</p>

<p>I'm a sophomore and have a cumulative 3.1. I don't really study and sleep in every class, so I'm mad at myself because I know I can be doing a lot better since I literally do nothing. The depression makes me super unmotivated and now I think I'm just f***'d all around. I want to transfer schools (from humanities to business) within my school but for that you need a 3.0, and you also need a 3.0 for many other things like internships and whatnot.</p>

<p>Now I just feel like giving up even more b/c it's like why even bother? I want to fix this, but at the same time I have no motivation to do anything. It's an accomplishment if I just get myself to class. I have (had?) aspirations of going to law school, but I'm afraid I won't be able to now. I wouldn't kill myself, but I feel as if there's no point in living either. I just don't know what to do. </p>

<p>Do you think my GPA can recover enough for law school? (I don't even want a tippity top law school- just something like Boston University or Syracuse, although my current school is ranked significantly higher than these). Anyone been in a similar situation? How can I recover from my bad gpa?</p>

<p>Heh, carbon copy of my situation. I ended up with a D in two classes and an overall 3.1 gpa (down from a 3.71). I’m still getting treated, I still cut, I still have suicidal ideations, but all can say is keep trying. Find an external therapist if you can, or look to see if your hospital offers an IOP program. I forget what the acronym stands for, but it’s basically a combo of group and single-person therapy. Cut down your schedule. Go to the gym a few times a week. Volunteer for something you like (animal shelter in my case).</p>

<p>Look to see if you can transfer due to your circumstances. I need to transfer too, and I’m pretty sure there’s some provision that allows you to do so if you’re depressed. Just hang tight and find a person to talk to if you need to in the meantime. Most of my friends disappeared when I told them, but ill talk to you if you need.</p>
