Meet Alex, a third-year Engineering student at the University of Waterloo. After initially thriving in the fast-paced environment of co-op placements, they hit a rough patch during a particularly challenging semester. Struggling with mental health issues, Alex found themselves trapped in a cycle of low motivation and isolation, often staying in bed until the afternoon. They are now on a journey to seek support and understanding, both from friends and the community, as they navigate the ups and downs of student life.
