Help for College Students

Hello and TGIF!

Today I wanted to talk to all of you that are college students struggling with mental health issues. There is help that you may not know exists.

I have a meeting today with disability services at my college to talk about possible classroom accomodations due to my health issues. Many people struggling with depression or anxiety (or anything else) would agree that it can make test-taking difficult. Also, sometimes the medication we are on can make us a bit groggy, which makes focusing difficult.

Colleges understand this and they want to help. Some possible options may be taking tests in a separate room or having a little extra time. You could also record lectures in case you were having problems focusing due to medication.

I hope that this will help someone who may be struggling with their coursework due to psychological issues.

Go check it out for yourself!

You are loved. Stay strong. Stay united, and fight out hate.
