Is it normal for things to fall apart this fast?

I just turned 20. Two years ago everything in my life seemed perfect.

I got good symbols when I matriculated. I was accepted into a good university to study chemical engineering. I WAS intelligent. I had a great boyfriend. I was beautiful.

Now it seems like everything has changed. I failed almost everything last semester. I realised my labrador has a better attention span that I do, and the only reason I had done well in school was that the work load was so light. Obviously, that doesnt work in univerisity. It obviously work in thermodynamics to say the least.

So, right now I don't know whether I should just drop out and save my parents' money and give up on my dreams because I realised too late that lectures put me to sleep.

The boyfriend I thought I would marry cheated on me after three years of us dating and practically being joined at the hip. And he does that in the midst of my nervous breakdown.

In just two years guys have completely stopped looking at me, and I only realised it when I became single again. Can looks really fade that fast? Can a girl age that fast? I just dont understand.

I have practically noone to speak to. My best friend dropped out and seems busy all the time. Everyone else who I considered a friend seems to have left me. I have no close family right now.

My only comfort is my doctor's sedatives. So it appears I'm addicted to light narcotics.

My question is... Is it normal for things to get this messed up this fast?
But I assume you know I just needed to vent.

    This happens, but it is not the beginning of the end, with time and a new smile you will meet another and the confidence that made you appear so gorgeous to others will return. Work on solving the little problems first, them happiness will return!

    I don't know what the statistics are but 20 years ago when I started university in the UK the lecturer told us to take a good look at the other people coz by the end of the course at least one third of them would've dropped out.

    Maybe you need to take a break from uni in order to recover with your family, or maybe you really are on the wrong course. I'm sure it's possible to defer your time at uni and take a break to heal.

    It can be very overwhelming and you have had a lot of other things to cope with as well.

    Good luck!
