Yes, I have struggled with severe depression in the past during school and work to the point of coming home in tears because I'd have to make dinner and didn't have the energy to. Suggestions: 1. Set a level of activity that works - the things you simply must do to survive and the things that make you happy and don't stress you out. Everything else, try to turn down or delegate. 2. It may be depression that can be treated medically. I don't know how it works in the USA, but if you have a doctor you may want to talk to him/her -- or go to the health clinic on campus once you resume studies. Good luck. The good news is that you can climb out of a depression.
