Hi Ed,
Is there any way that you could take a break as others have mentioned here but still keep the option of going back to school at a later date?
I don't think that you can fully evaluate what you want now because of your depression. That has to be treated first before you can decide on your career path. If you don't have any motivation, you can't succeed - no matter how smart you are or how right the field is for you. If you are sleeping 16 hours a day, there's no way you can handle a demanding scholastic program. Please try not to be so hard on yourself. This isn't your fault! You are not lazy nor do you have a weak character!!!! You are suffering from depression. This can be treated but you might have to make some bold moves in order to get adequate treatment. Please don't waste your life away because getting adequate treatment is so hard in the UK. I have lost many years to this illness. Don't let it happen to you!
I hope that your doctor's appointment goes well tomorrow. Please keep us posted on what happens.
xxxooo
