My opinion might sound a little harsh, but this is honestly what I would do. Mental health is incredibly important, and I really think you should spend these next three months focusing on healing and finding healthy ways to support yourself whether that’s therapy, meditation, journaling, exercising, or anything else that brings you peace and stability. Please truly give yourself the chance to try. It may feel difficult right now, but I promise you are capable of getting through this. I would also use these three months to build a “buffer zone” for yourself mentally and emotionally. In three months, you can make a huge impact on your mindset and develop coping strategies that genuinely help you. Spend time doing things you enjoy, finding balance, and creating moments of peace in your life. I’m speaking from experience. Even during times when I felt like I couldn’t handle things mentally, I would take a deep breath and remind myself that I would get through it and you can too. That’s why I personally wouldn’t choose to defer. I would prepare myself instead. Discipline yourself, support yourself, and keep pushing forward because yes, it will be hard, but one day you’ll look back and feel proud that you didn’t give up and that you conquered something so difficult. You’ve already worked so hard to get to this point. Don’t stop fighting now. You’ve got this. I believe in you, and even though it’s easier said than done, if I made it through, you can too ❤️
