The internship is for Aeromechanics.

FP Edit: Thank you all for your kind words. Send homemade engineering projects! And nudes.
It is an amazing opportunity. I will be sure to post about my adventure there.
Also, for those asking, it's at Mountain View, CA.
I am currently seeing a psychiatrist as well as taking antidepressants for two months, but it's been getting worse.

Things will get worse before they get better. But if they keep getting worse, and you don't feel like it's working, change what you can.

Don't stress that it's seemingly getting a lot of long term meds can take 6 weeks+ to start working and some can make you worse first.

Whenever I felt like that, people told me it would be good in the end, just get it together. So instead I say hang in there. You are awesome

I had a similar experience. It didn't help me personally and my depression got so much worse this school year. Get help if you need it.

If it's getting worse after 2 months though you should probably re-contact your therapist and check with em...

Counseling if for people who have had truly traumatic experiences. Otherwise it amounts to little more than life coaching.

Your degree could be worth ten times more overseas in shitty places that don't know what they're doing.

Sorry to hear it's not working out yet, but keep it up. Perhaps the doc can recommend different types of therapy that might work for you.
