Should I leave a good school if I'm miserable there?

On the one hand, life is too short to be miserable if you have other reasonable and good options. On the other hand, if you work with the therapist to address your symptoms, choose a major that is more interesting for you, and get involved in activities where you would have more options for socializing outside the “party” scene, I personally believe that path would provide a better opportunity for personal growth. If you can find a way to make yourself happier at your current school, you might feel a lot of satisfaction having chosen that path. Working through the discomfort can be very transformative and empowering. However, there is no wrong choice here. You seem like a great kid and I wish you the best.
