Appeal Letter: I have been struggling with my mental health issues most of my life and trying my best to keep them in control and ensure that I am doing okay. I have been taking medication for my anxiety and depression for three years, roughly at the beginning of 2019. My first year of university was the best thing that ever happened to me, and that was the first time I saw myself being happy in an environment where I could thrive. I was trying hard not to let my anxiety and depression take control, but it is not something that ever goes away. Although the year as a whole was challenging for me. I didn't specify in the appeal the fall term was as difficult for me because an incident that I didn't feel comfortable writing about triggered my depression while I was at school. The incident had happened before I decided to come off my medication and start meeting with a therapist to help me cope with it. I am very hard working, and my grade in PSYC 100 is not a fair grade due to what I have been going through; looking at that grade makes me extremely sad, not because I care about my grades but because I know that the grade is not me, and the work I put into that class is not me.
