I would try to complete some qualification. I also have had depression and I have found that people don’t want people who don’t have a qualification or are taking a break from Uni even if you have done well at Uni or treat you differently if doing a reduced courseload. I also want to help people in a particular field re academic interest but there isn’t a way to make connections who are similar to me plus interested in the particular field.
Maybe you could try to organise some sort of group first.
I just want to add that even if people treat you different, ultimately it’s a line on your CV that says “completed this degree, in this year”. I don’t think it makes a material difference to your opportunities at the point of completion if it took you much longer to complete.
