Hi friend,

Yes, I definitely understand what you mean. I was the same way in high school and my first few years of college. This past fall though I had to take a semester off on medical leave because my ED had gotten so bad. I was planning to only take a semester off, but then ended up taking a full year off to get more treatment. It was a hard decision to make, because my education is so important to me (I too plan to be a doctor and change the world someday), but I am so so incredibly glad I took the time to take care of my mental health.
When people would ask me why I wasn't in school I would just say I was taking a year off. Nothing more, nothing less. And everyone, especially adults, understood that sometimes you just need to take a year off for your own sanity. I didn't even have to add in the part about it being medical leave. All that to say that, taking time off is a widely accepted thing to do.
If you are worried about a scholarship or an internship (I had both to worry about) then you could ask your school what you would need to do to qualify for medical leave. Like if a note from a T would do, or if you have to actually be in the hospital. See what they say.
You are more important than your education, my dear. I've had to learn that the hard way many times over. No one wants to see a doctor who is burnt out before they even start working!

Good luck with everything!
