Help me out i feel like i am drowning
I have been depressed, anxious and have shown slight signals of adult adhd since 2017. struggled a lot. fumbled a lot of exams and classes. went from a all a+ student to 70% in 12th. took a degree that i didn't like 'cause of family pressure. fumbled my degree too. missed so many exams solely from falling asleep in exam hall. i tried to seek help in 2022 by going to a therapist and she asked me to go to a psychiatrist and get meds to control my illness. i couldn't afford it at that time (still can't). then my therapist did something that broke my trust in her and i ghosted her since. i couldn't go back. now i am trying to fix my life and get my degree but my university is asking me for a medical certificate on why i missed so many internal components like assignments and class tests during my 5 years of ba.llb. HOW DO I GET A CERTIFICATE AT THIS POINT? HOW DO I MAKE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND MY SITUATION? I DON'T WANT TO DIE BUT IF I DONT GET THIS DEGREE I HAVE WASTED SO MUCH LIFE, I SHOULD.

Hi,
I'm really sorry you're going through such a difficult time. Itâs important to remember that your feelings are valid, and seeking understanding and support is a brave step. For your universityâs requirement, you can consider obtaining a medical certificate or a letter from a qualified mental health professional, such as a psychiatrist or a general physician, explaining your mental health struggles and how they affected your ability to attend classes and complete assignments. If you cannot access a psychiatrist now, a doctor who is familiar with mental health conditions can still provide a general medical certificate based on your history and symptoms. Additionally, you might consider writing a heartfelt letter to your university explaining your situation, emphasizing that your mental health issues impacted your academic performance and attendance, and expressing your commitment to completing your degree. Remember, you are not alone, and reaching out to mental health organizations, support groups, or even university counselors can offer guidance and help you navigate this process. Your life and future are valuable, and seeking help and understanding is a crucial step toward healing and achieving your goals.

It sounds like you've been through an incredibly challenging and overwhelming period, facing significant struggles with your mental health, academic performance, and personal life for a long time. It takes immense strength to acknowledge all of this and to still be trying to fix things, even when it feels like everything is stacked against you. A psychologist can help you navigate through this. For a certificate like few others have mentioned, you need psychological evaluation, tests taken up in order to justify your situation. Case to case it may be accepted by Universities, if done through an accredited psychologist or a psychiatrist

Hi...You need to involve your parents into this. You need to share your situation with them, academic and mental health. College can provide a lot ways for you to correct your issues and provide minimum performance to receive a degree but what a college can't do is to provide a degree without you doing that bare minimum. A medical certificate is only a legal requirement to justify absence or low performance. Your issues are primarily psychological and I believe you can pass through those bare minimum standards if you could manage your psychoemotional issues well. You can always choose another therapist but you can't quit therapy and expect positive outcome. It may appear to you that your college or mental health providers were insensitive towards your struggles but the truth is they are only acting upon their respective roles. Try to share your condition with your parents and family first. They value your life more than anything. They might be hard to you but they want you to do well in your life. But if this degree or situation is suffocating you beyond a point, you must tell your parents. 5 years of life are important but they are not important than life itself. Think about it and gather courage to share it with people you value the most and scared to break this news. They will respond much better than how you have imagined.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Career Guidance and Counselling is required.

Hi
It seems you have been handling this on your own without ur parents support. Everything will fall into the place if make ur parents involve. I know parents can be reactive and judgmental yet they wouldn’t want to see their child in stress.
What is it that is making you feel anxious and depressed?? What happened that you have not been able to cope with??
Seek counselling or further more.. contact me on eight three six eight zero five three seven one zero
