Hi. I previously wrote posts regarding my mental health etc. Some background info:

Have had depression for 7 years (I'm 17 now). I have self harmed a lot in the past and still do now but not as bad. I recently attempted twice, and got hospitalised 3 times (I was in an inpatient facility recently for a week). I recently got diagnosed with severe depressive disorder and now under investigation into PTSD and an ASD assessment in Nov. I'm now trying out my third antidepressant. I have a lot of support aswell.

I started college (Y2) last week and I feel like I'm dreading going in already. I feel so stressed by it, too. Do I have a gap year or carry on? I'm not sure if this years course will make my mental health worse..any advice?
