here in the states a friend attended Stanford University.....they dealt with the onset of mental illness during the time they were attending their undergraduate program.......

due to illness they decided to "drop out" and went to their advisor to complete the official paperwork. while in that meeting the advisor told them that Stanford doesn't consider students to have "dropped out" but instead stopped out. Stopping brings along the possibility of restarting. Dropping seems so final.

perhaps reframe how you look at this time as this is probably one of the best decisions you'll make in your young life...putting your health and well-being first so that you can then be stronger next time you enroll.

good for you for taking care of YOU first!!
