Here's the story -

I am diagnosed with Major depressive disorder. I was in college last school year. I started to have trouble with depression related to delayed grieving and some other issues. I started not to handle school and went to the administration about it *big mistake*

The administrator instantly said that I should take time off, and that if you're depressed you can't possibly get better without at least a year off school. She said she had been depressed herself in college.

That semester she kept pushing me to do this. I went down to part time status, and at the time started on meds which made things unbearable and caused me to be unable to do school. I had an A in one class, and in the other it would not have been good. The week before finals, this administrator called me to her office, and told me I either had to go on medical status or she'd kick me out of the school altogether. She refused to show me what being on medical leave meant, how I'd get out, or even how much money I would receive back. At first she refused to let me call my parents before signing the papers. Then she gave me less than 24 hours to do so. I did not have time to set up a meeting with a superior or do anything BUT sign the papers.



Now, a full semester later, Im up against her again.

The letter I got from the school says one thing, she says another. She says I can't come back next semester at all.

I feel that she has discriminated against me the whole way. I'm also really worried because I had a friend from this school who was denied acceptance on the basis of her depression.

any advice? thanks so much!
