ok so long story short - last year i had to take a semester out to spend time in inpatients. I went back to college and ever since i havent enjoyed it, i developed really bad anxiety and last semester (just before christmas) i gave up on my degree, i went through a severe depressive episode and couldnt do anything. Tutors were on my back looking for my assignments, and i was that tired i couldnt do anything. My psych told me to prioritize my health, but ive been that anxious i havent applied for college extensions, and im still getting emails. Im terrified of going back because im constantly finding it hard to balance my bipolar (newly diagnosed) and education especially when dealing with brain fog. I'd happily take another semester out but one group of friends have already graduated and i feel very far behind my peers. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.
