1. Go to a doctor ASAP and be evaluated for depression/anxiety.

2. If you are diagnosed with either of these, contact your dean of students and talk about a “retroactive medical withdrawal”. The idea is that you had a medical issue that prevented you from doing what you were capable of. If they agree, then that semester would be like you didn’t attend (but you still had to pay for it). But that would be wiped off your GPA. If they won’t approve of this, ask what your steps are to be able to return (worry later if this is what you want to do or not). They may tell you to do well at CC and then apply to return.

3. If you have anxiety, you are now anxious about a doctor, your parents, your school, everythign. But you have to get help. Talk to your parents ideally about this.

4. If you came down with cancer and didn’t know it , would you be this disappointed in yourself? Because you have a physical condition that prevented you from doing your best.

5. The only thing you should be disappointed in is if you don’t take action. I know it is hard to take action when you are depressed, but get someone you trust to help you.
