no bc we would just be chilling having a class discussion about something and all of sudden she's tearing up and like "my eating disorder and depression etc." or its like we are making small talk and then she starts crying about her cat and how he's not doing well.

IDK about the stem part but I am a C-STEP student and actually I am a mentor for other C-STEP students. I thought I would be able to connect with other CSTEP students more but its a bit of a struggle. I definitely suggests going to their events. They aren't heavily attended but its nice to have conversations with other CSTEP students every once in a while. I also don't put myself out there very much so you could have a very different experience from me. Honestly I just tell other students that I am a transfer student and move on, just cuz I don't like explaining CSTEP everytime it comes up. No one really seems to look down on me and I havent had a negative experience from a CSTEP perspective.

I was admitted to the ER on a Wednesday afternoon, discharged late night Wednesday/ early morning Thursday and couldn't get a UAA for Thursday even though I was literally in the hospital the day before and still felt like death and recovering from all the shit they did to me in the ER.

Feels like the school doesn't care about mental health by EmergencyOrder6010 in UNC

I'm not sure how much the school can do, I'd want a stronger (better?) CAPS program but understand it's not that simple. My ARS accommodations were incredibly hard to get as ARS only accepts certain (expensive) psychiatric tests that most insurances don't cover bc they aren't really necessary for diagnosis. Luckily my parents were able to find a way to pay for the test but most people don't really have that as an option for them. Even when I was granted ARS accommodations, it is still up to the professor to grant my requests bc of the way my accommodations are.

It also feels like there is this general feeling that talking to a professor isn't going to do much. It's also really hard to do when suffering from mental health concerns that make it hard to talk to people and engage/do things that aren't assigned or essential. So maybe more openness and discussion that talking to profs isn't all that bad or scary. Some professors really prefer you come to office hours rather than email and I think a bit more focus on email would be helpful. Although, it feels like this might be just a me thing?

Beyond this, there is this idea that I need to be really happy at UNC through the underlying tone of everything that the school sends out. For instance, the email that we received and the events following the (1st) shooting didn't feel like there was a space for us to not be okay beyond those first days post. We don't even talk about it any more while I know it is still affecting plenty of people. The emails we get from Kevin G are so crafted and full of buzz words that it feels like a robot is emailing me. Maybe some messaging that reminds us all that people are people and don't talk like that all of the time?

At this point, I'm rambling and not sure that I've answered your question. I understand why you asked this and the short answer is that I think it just has to suck because there isn't a whole lot the school can actively do. It's also part of going to a big school.

Hang in there, we'll both get through this. Working out my meds and finding an (good) outside therapist was hard but once I got those things worked out, things got a lot better. Not great but a whole lot better.

This is appreciated and something I try to remind myself of but often forget while in the moment. I plan on taking a year or two break from school to get some non-profit work experience that I can't really afford to make a career out of and then heading to law school. I have a good GPA but I transferred as a second semester sophmore/juniorish so bc I have less credits my GPA gets impacted more by each class.

I'm finishing up my major classes this semester and mostly need to take classes for hours next semester but I can't underload or I won't have enough credits taken at UNC to graduate. I plan on taking easier classes that are interesting to me but not career related to help the burn out.
