Let me say one thing: it is not entirely your fault for your grades. You are battling a very serious illness under tremendous pressure at a tough stage of life. Your numbness may be at least in part from coping with pain and shock. Be kind to yourself.
I would suggest stopping the blame and regret. I spent literally years doing that to myself. It only made getting improving mentally and getting back in school all the more difficult.
You have time, take that time to reassess. Certainly be tested. Remember when you go back to school, when and where you decide, to go to your school's special student services or similar office. They handle accommodation requests. Documented mental illness stress, depression, etc. will be given accommodation. I know it doesn't feel like it, but your life is not over. It is just beginning. A lot of people leave or get bounced from colleges for a huge number of reasons. You are not alone. And those people have gone on to live just fine lives. Just like you can.

I'm sorry to hear that, it must have been extremely difficult =(
For me I still have a chance for an appeal, I'm still in my second year with average grades until last year starting from my spring and fall term. Thank you very much for youe kind words, I only have 12 days until I can send my appeal and I'm basically freaking out over that. I am worried that they won't accept me, and I'm worried that they'll ban me from this university, I'm basically just frustrated right now.
I'm also worried over the fact about the numbers of the dean accepting students back into the university. For my appeal I am planning on writting anout willing to change my major because I believed I made the wrong choice but still stayed in this major. It's eižer changing my major or upgrading for a year. I'll take anything as long as I don't get a suspension.
