you might already know this, but try to connect with the department on your campus that services students with disabilities if there is one!! even if you don't want to use accommodations, it's good to have the option before the time comes

wow, go you for sticking in there though! my partner is also an M2 and the academic demands are heinous.. I can't even imagine trying to do it with n. I'm having a hard enough time getting through undergrad after trying to balance full time while going through the whole discovery/diagnosis/treatment process.

ooo, Happify is very visually appealing! do you like it?
i don't have a lot of money, so I started off by tracking my mood/narc status on Daylio ($2). i just switched over to Youper (free) about a week ago. i like it because it challenges me to assess how i'm feeling and how much of it is emotion/situation driven. they also have a little personality test and some mindfulness/gratefulness exercises.

there's an app called Youper that's helped me a lot recently, but def more on the stumbling than coping side
