I am having real tough time with my studies. I managed to get through the easier courses but i got stuck in the difficult ones as I am not able to concentrate properly. I have withdrawn from the other two courses because I never even tried to study hard because of concentration. I am a looser I don't even try and accept my circumstances. What is it that is going to get me out of this rutt. This semester was supposed to be my last one. I dont know how long is it going to take further. I think I am making excuses that I have depression and not even trying. I am really guilty.I have become very used to of a comfortable and easy going life. I avoid difficulties and tend to withdraw from anything that makes me sweat. I don't know what will happen of me. Please God help me.

It might be a good thing you have cut back your studies given you lack of motivation/concentration problems. I think you will find that those who are studying/have studied while under depression, find it hard to do because of motivation/lack of concentration/keeping up with all the reading that is required. Go to the uni student services and register with them and then hopefully they can help you with your studies.

I know what you are going through as I have completed one degree and started two others. When I am well, I will go back and do something I am interested in.

Go Omar!!!

God has nothing to do with University. Sounds like you are very close to finishing your degree, this in itself can be paradoxically demotivating, you have just experienced stress as well. I hope you get some sort of counselling, this is such a common problem and can be rectified, it is likely every Student has times they are less motivated than others. Don't spend too long in this suspended state of animation re your studies. It is possible your depression may improve once you have a sense of achievement and relief by finishing this last bit of work. Rest and not overdoing is important with depression, but so is not letting things go where we can help it. That only makes things worse as I think you know. That knowledge is my only motivator often...I don't always succeeed, but I have no chance at all if I don't consciously try...
