thinking of quitting the university, it all started because a bitch left me and I felt empty

If you've got things that simply must go on (like your college degree) regardless of how badly you're crumbling and falling apart inside, use OTC drugs as a crutch to remain functional while you mentally recover and un-fuck yourself.

Recovery and un-fucking generally includes a lot of weightlifting, trying to smash and being around people.

Do yourself a huge favor and stay away from alcohol.

Sidebars. Read them. Learn from them.

You can't fix years of loserdom in one post.

I'd get a second opinion. Don't mention the first diagnosis to the second. And be sure it is a psychologist or psychiatrist with advanced degrees and not some therapist.

If you were diagnosed by a therapist, remember that he or (especially) she has financial interests by diagnosing you; the longer you are mentally ill and keep coming back, the more they earn. I'm not saying that all therapists act on this perverse incentive, but keep it in mind. Supply and demand.

Edit: great things have already been said, but if I were you I'd just keep on living your life. Improving yourself through reading, lifting etc. Focus on yourself. To me, that'd mean continuing studying.
