Getting my admission revoked and appealing the decision?

I was accepted to the University of Tampa and I’ve been scared for a while that they would revoke my admission when they see my senior year grades after graduation. When I applied I was ranked 65 out of 380 in my graduating class and had a weighted GPA of 4.18 (unweighted 3.43), My grades have since dropped significantly in all my classes. At this point I am most likely graduating with a D in every class. A lot of this was due to a deep depression I fell into at the beginning of the year and could not get out of (a lot of it was due to stress at home from financial struggles, fighting often within the family, and I had also been emotionally drained by an abusive relationship I was in). I haven’t been to see a professional about this for sheer lack of courage; I haven’t been feeling myself. I used to be very motivated about school and it came very easily to me to excel in AP and honors classes and I was very involved in my school; now I am absent very frequently often missing class for days because I can’t get out of bed without crying and I am constantly getting sick, my health has deteriorated and I get migraines all the time now, I have a very hopeless outlook on life and I honestly hadn’t expected to be accepted into any of the universities I applied to. Being accepted gave me a new hope that I could start over and be my old self again, but it’s too late to boost my grades any further than I’ve been trying. What are my chances of getting my admission revoked and the chance of successfully appealing it? I know it is very likely to get my admission revoked in very competitive schools, but am I wrong in hoping that the University of Tampa would be more lenient especially considering the situation? Has anyone every been in this situation with the University of Tampa specifically? Do you think a school would be more inclined to offer me conditional admission or put me on academic probation instead of just outright rejecting me? Please someone help me, I am so scared I’ve been having panic attacks about this all day.
