I got my succulent last summer and it was very healthy and fatty. I put it in my cubicle where I don't get much sun.

I fed it water when the soil was dry (maybe about once or twice a week). It seemed to need the water because the leaves dried up if there was no water. It wasn't doing too well either when I left it next to window with indirect sunlight.

Anyway, it is slowly dying and dying. I have no idea what to do, last week I gave it a boost of plant food, but I don't see any difference. It is really really sad.

Any suggestions of what I can do to revive it?

Welcome, sugar. That looks like a jade plant, possibly. Whether it is or not, it was not getting enough light. Even moving it to light after it showed signs of being unhappy is enough to shock it even more. I am not sure if that one can be saved. But if you try or get another, you will need to get a full spectrum light in your cubicle to promote growth. Water once a week or less. Every two weeks probably is best.
The full spectrum light would also help cheer you up as well. Good luck!

Thanks for your advice! I think I might repot it and migrate it back home where there is some sun by my window. I wish that I can get full spectrum of sunlight for myself too :)
