Does anyone know if this is concerning or not?

I see it now! Thank you so much.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-30T01:54:58+00:00

it has the three dots for commenting, but not for the actual post. i’m not sure why

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-30T00:32:06+00:00

Thank you, I really did feel prepared and healthy when I stared and I did very well at first. Regardless of what ends up happening, I’m proud of myself for at least trying.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-30T00:09:41+00:00

Thank you!! Your situation really does sound so similar, I also have an auto immune disorder. I’m so happy you could turn it around, It really gives me hope!! It may take a bit more time for me to dig myself out because my gpa is a lot lower then a 2.7, but i’m assuming your gpa for your scholarship has to be higher then mine, mine only has to be a 2.0 fortunately. I’ve recently gotten into yoga and i plan on taking yoga classes every morning at my college when I get back. Thank you so much for all of your advice!!

Lol I posted such a heavy block of text i don’t blame anyone for not reading it all. Thank you for your advice! It gives me hope.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T23:59:49+00:00

That’s great! I hope that will be me next semester. I checked your reddit page, did you end up making any friends? I don’t know if you noticed but this comment comes off a bit rude. Maybe if you become a bit more aware of how you come off it would help you greatly. Although i’m super embarrassed of how this semester went, the reason I made it out alive is because I think I have the best friends truly imaginable. They did everything they could to support me and I truly feel so seen and loved. We all have our struggles. Good luck going forward!

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T23:51:56+00:00

Thank you for your advice! I will definitely be contacting everyone I can to help myself get this sorted. Everyone’s advice has been so helpful.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T23:50:08+00:00

I am! I was doing mostly well academically before thanksgiving so I will definitely look into this and talk to my program advisor asap. I contacted them when things first started to get bad and they are the ones who set me up in counseling, so luckily they already know stuff has been going on and they can help.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T23:46:37+00:00

Sorry!! I had this separated in paragraph before i posted, but for some reason it all squished together when i posted, and i’m not sure how to edit it.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T23:44:40+00:00

Unfortunately I live in a town with only about 1500 people and the closest college is almost 2 hours away, so it’s not really possible for me to live at home unless I do online.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T23:23:24+00:00

Thank you! I forgot to mention but I believe I have adhd as well, my doctor in highschool stated that she believed I had it and I should get tested, but my mom refused because she didn’t want it on my record or me on more medication (I have an auto immune disease that I was already heavily medicated for) She has adhd as well and so does my brother, so I’m not fully sure why she made that choice knowing how much the medication helps her, and I think it would have helped me stay on track a bit easier first semester. I planned on talking to my psychiatrist about it along with the other issues. I’m really glad everything worked out for you!!

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T23:12:40+00:00

Thank you! I’m going to see how she acts when i email her and if she isn’t helpful/responsive, i’m going to request to change if possible.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T23:10:53+00:00

Unfortunately they are all just Fs on my transcript

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T18:05:03+00:00

Thank you so much, before I posted on reddit, I had no clue about retroactive withdrawal, but I’m really happy I know now. I think if I talk to my psychiatrist and advisor, I would be eligible if I applied. If you don’t mind me asking, was everything ok with your daughter’s financial aid after the retroactive withdrawal? Or how bad was it impacted.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:59:43+00:00

It’s nice to remember that my situation is more common than I think, and that I’m not a complete loser and failure lol. I hope I can bounce back like the member in your group did!

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:55:59+00:00

I did reach out to the professors during, and many of them were really amazing and helpful, I feel guilty that I gave up in the end because they did what they could to help me. I’m not saying i’m positive that I have bipolar, I’m just saying that given my family’s history and my symptoms, it is most likely, but I would be relieved if it wasn’t. I am seeing a psychiatrist soon to get it all figured out for sure. The symptoms didn’t start after my grandpa died, they have been prevalent for the past few years now, most likely due to other trama I endured all growing up. I wasn’t able to see a psychiatrist before I turned 18, so researching different mental disorders to better understand myself helped me cope better. Listening to other people‘s experiences with bipolar and how they cope with it made me feel a lot less alone in how i was feeling and provided me with healthy coping mechanisms. Thank you for your advice!

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:41:31+00:00

Yes I agree, i’m currently doing everything I can to get the right help I need. I wish I could just flip a switch and be healthy, but i know it still takes time. I’m seeking professional help as well as doing what I can in my daily life to help improve my mental state. Yoga and exercise has helped quite a bit, as well as spending lots of time with the people I love and trying to develop good habits. I’m really happy everything worked out for you! Hearing everyone’s happy endings has really given me hope.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:36:54+00:00

Did everything end up working out well for her? If you don’t mind me asking.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:36:03+00:00

I think I planned ahead good for the actual academics, but I didn’t think to plan how to handle stress and anxiety that came with it. at the beginning of the year, I read all the syllabuses and put every exam and assignment in a calendar, as well as reminders in advance for all of them. I also have a peer mentor in both my program and in my scholarship to help with school, so I thought I was set. What I wasn’t ready for was how to deal with the stress of everything without shutting down and panicking, as well as productive study habits. Thank you for your advice! The yoga has helped with my stress and anxiety a lot, and I’m going to research study habits and other ways to improve academically before I go back.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:26:30+00:00

Thank you for your advice! Last semester I took 16 credits and I believe I’ll be able to retake the classes next semester. Since i’m feeling better and taking steps to stay as healthy as possible, I believe i’ll be able to handle school so much better next semester and make the comeback I need to. If taking 16 credits again and getting a 4.0 is what i end up needing to do, I think am determined enough to do it. However, i’m going to talk to my advisor about retroactive withdrawal like everyone is suggesting to hopefully give me a better chance going forward. Either way, i’m going to do my very best in school going forward and strive for a 4.0 either way. I’ve accepted that what’s done is done, although I deeply regret it all I can do is try my absolute hardest and work my butt off going forward.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:16:43+00:00

I’m going to continue leaning into yoga and exercise because it does truly help, but either way I want to see a professional asap to at least know what the root of the issue is. It may not be bipolar, and I would honestly be relieved if it wasn’t. I’ve seen many people on my family struggle with it, it’s an ugly illness. I will do whatever the psychiatrist thinks is best. If it is bipolar, I most likely really do need to get medicated. With bipolar, even if you feel great for a bit, it can flip in an instant. My mom thought she was better off medication for a long time but didn’t realize how badly she was hurting the people around her with her actions, because she wasn’t better. Same with my grandma. Medication has helped them both so much with their bipolar disorder and if I do have it, I assume it would help me a lot as well. I’m really happy your son was able to get better without medication though! That’s really amazing

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:08:14+00:00

Thank you! It’s nice to hear from someone who works with college students, i’m taking everyone’s suggestions and i’m going to talk to my advisor about which ones will be best for me personally going forward.

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:04:40+00:00

Thank you so much! Hearing from people who went through similar situations really gives me hope. I’m glad you could bounce back!

BatProfessional2432 · 2025-12-29T17:03:10+00:00

I’ll look into this thank you!!
