It sounds like you are going to have to go through the process now anyway, so maybe it will be less troubling for you personally to try to figure out the perspectives of everyone involved and see what is the best way you can show the administrators that you're willing to take this on as an opportunity for growth.
I can imagine it's stressful, particularly as you clearly take great care with your academic work.

Don't really think its going to go my way. I kind of feel like they are going to expel me or compel a leave from school.
Having issues with the program chair, too- The day of the email convo I contacted her via email for an appointment to discuss it saying it wasnt urgent and could she see me at some point in the next three weeks. She replied asking when I wanted to come in and I told her, but she never replied with an appointment. So it was never discussed, and then she put me in another class with this Professor next semester and I asked to be put in a different class and she said no without even hearing me out. So I told my friend I was frustrated with the whole situation, that I didnt feel like I could be in his class again and not have a negative interaction the next time he refused to explain his reasons for point deduction, and that I thought I needed more time to discuss it in therapy and get over it.
I told my friend I had contacted the chair and requested an appointment to discuss and in over three weeks she hadnt been able to find a time to meet with me bc she was "so busy" (my friend is the receptionist) and by then I was really worked up and about to cry so I ended the conversation and went to the lab to calm down and not cry.
A minute or so after that, my friend called the chair and told her i asked for an appointment three weeks ago and had not gotten one, so the chair said she would see me right then. My friend came to tell me, and I said no, I couldn't go right now (too near tears) and could I in an hour or so after I calmed down.
Program chair got mad that I didn't come, and then like an hour later the academic advisor sent over a referral to her for discipline for me, then another hour after that I got the email saying I was referred for discipline.
And in class last week she said, "When I don't like someone I don't have to say anything, they just know" and I kind of felt like she was talking about me (I'm assuimg).
Honestly earlier this semester she really liked me and would see me whenever I called to ask for a few minutes, and I'm really not sure what I did to upset her so much to the point that I cant get an appointment at all in a whole month.
