Hi everyone, I've been recently contemplating doing an online degree in Health Sciences with Open University. I left school a bit after the start of the year since I was suffering very bad depression and anxiety to the point where I don't want to leave the house. I left right before my exams, so basically I studied for a full year for nothing. I had a bit of a breakdown tbh.
Over the past hear and a half I have also been having issues with pain and fatigue, along with heart related problems (basically I feel dizzy and nauseous whenever I'm standing up). I do eventually want to have a good job however, and I would really be interested in Pharmaceutical Sales.
However I'm really concerned that potential future employers will think of my OU degree as me being "too lazy" or "not hard working" or something, as I've read some people on this site from previous threads have said? This makes me really upset.
I would be studying full time, the only difference being that I would be at home. I was predicted high grades at school, but I've had depression and anxiety for a while now, and I really didn't like going to school and I would have panic attacks every day, or I would be in too much pain or too tired to go.
Ideally I would love to have this more under control before going to interviews, but it's really deterring me since I'm worrying they'll somehow see me as inferior due to my OU degree, or apparently "not a good time manager". Is it even worth doing it or am I just destined to be a failure. I'm in Scotland btw if that matters at all. Would really appreciate any advice
