I left my computer engineering degree because i was in a very bad mental health state at that time, i then go to the IT degree but is just very very bad, i'm at theraphy now and i think if I had been better, I would have been able to handle that degree. I feel really sad because i study bs that i really don't like because i thought it would be easy and i would have better social life and be happier, i just want to be a good sysadmin but i really hate where i study

Is the problem that you don’t like the field itself (IT), that you don’t like your school, or you don’t like the way it is taught? Maybe see if there is another professor who teaches the course, or change schools if it’s possible. You can also look research IT bootcamps or certification programs if you don’t want to go the university route, and build a portfolio of projects in your spare time to add to your CV.

Good luck!
