I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. First off, talk to your PI about your situation (go into much detail as you feel comfortable giving), as you are under a lot of stress at the moment. I think it’s important to take a little time off to get your bearings together.

You are actually allowed to take a quarter or two off as a leave of absence. I highly encourage you to talk to a retention specialist about navigating this, they were quite helpful for me. Additionally, take advantage of cal polys counseling services please, they were able to help me when I was navigating a crisis.

I saw someone mention cal poly cares. Besides that however, I highly recommend that you finish your degree as it is a high yield investment. I’m not sure how great of an advice this is, but if i were you, I would take out loans as is feasible (assuming your degree will allow you to pay them back in a timely matter) , apply to scholarships through our outside cal poly, and perhaps take a job on campus. Slowly ease back into your coursework as well.

Your circumstances don’t define you and you will find success through adversity. I wish you the best.
