Hey @malb
Welcome to the online community and for sharing how you're feeling with us. You've done great and posted in the right place, and put in appropriate TWs - you're a pro already!
I can definitely understand why you're feeling overwhelmed at the moment, that's a whole lot to be coping with at once! It's really awesome that you've reached out for some support.
When it comes to worrying about uni and future, those fears are so valid but you're defintitely not alone in those thoughts. I think pretty much everyone that's studied has felt similar pressures and confusion. So I hope you know it's not something you're struggling with on your own. What are you studying and what are your goals?
Oh wow, it must be so difficult not to see your partner for so long! But so amazing that you've been able to stay together for so long regardless of the distance, you must have a really strong bond. How do you keep in touch? Do you have any plans to meet up in the future?
You've mentioned that you slowly came off your medication with the help of your GP recently, was there a reason why you decided you wanted to stop taking them? Do you think it would be worth chatting to your GP about how you're feeling now and discussing whether trying them again or a different medication might be an option?
That's great that you're able to see your uni psychologist every 3 weeks, but I can understand that you'd prefer to see them more often. Is asking to see them more regularly an option? Headspace is another service that might be an option for you to look at too. They offer free support with mental health professionals over the phone and via webchat. They also have career specialists too that might be helpful with how you're feeling about uni etc as well.
