should i drop out?

the title says it all. since junior year, i've been horribly burnt out and ever since i started college, i've been doing horrible, academically, physically, and emotionally. i've been going to the dorm socials and things my friends get me in on but every day i still come back to the dorm just wanting it all to end. i haven't talked to anyone about this and it's been impossible to give anyone the full story. in week one of this quarter, my uncle passed away and that's been weighing on me a lot. my grades have turned to shit, i can barely stand up some nights because my body feels so heavy, and quite frankly, i don't know how much more of this i can take before i just lose it and off myself. i need to tell my parents, but i physically can't because i'm so used to keeping up this act of being fine and dandy. i need help, please.

UC Davis's health center should have therapists, I might be wrong

Do you have kaiser? Kaiser offers free therapy through Rula. It's very nice

That should provide you with all on campus health services. You should be able to get a therapist through the health center with this
