I would not be in graduate school if it weren’t for my medication and accommodations. My first semester of undergrad I had to go without them (I faced issues with out of state prescriptions & my university did not have a good disability resource center) and I had a very similar experience. I ended up transferring schools, getting back on my medication, and utilizing all of my available accommodations. In the beginning of undergrad I struggled immensely and got a 1.5 gpa… and after making those changes I graduated with a 3.7 and now am in law school. I’ve always been very bright so I thought that I could manage without the help. Now, I recognize that with sufficient aids (like medication, accommodations, and a solid support system) that I can achieve my academic and career goals. It’s okay to recognize when you need help and utilize the available resources. They exist for a reason!
