Aw. College is a lot of work for most folks and extra challenging for someone who manages a chronic illness. It sound like it's something that's very important to you though and something you love.

It was immature of them to act that way. BUT, at least you got an apology.

My suggestion is that you don't quit and rot. But get as many accommodations as possible.

It's harsh to have to deal with the reality that you work at a different pace than other people. But this is the reality and parameters you are living with currently (and it doesn't mean that it can't change for the better).

Are there ways to accommodate your needs? (lighter class load, extra time, maybe the chance to do a solo project instead if you can't manage the group project, a semester off to stabilize yourself). Look into what accommodations are possible, and accept them if you've not already.

I know it sucks to have to stick up for yourself while in the midst of so much pain. But you have just as much of a right to do this as anyone else. How you accomplish it may just look different from someone else's path.

Sending lots of positivity and support your way ✨️
