Petition Letter
Dear Jill Atkinson,
Although I am thoroughly interested in my course of study and have always been an extremely hardworking individual, struggles with my mental wellbeing over the past few years have greatly impacted my motivation.
For the first time since I moved to Kingston in the fall of 2015, I moved back home for several months to be with my family. It is during this time that I truly began taking steps to learn valuable coping tools in order for me to find success. After contacting my family doctor, she confirmed that my loss of motivation was greatly caused by chronic depression and an ongoing anxiety disorder.
Together, my doctor and I formulated a plan for me to understand why I have been struggling and how to overcome day to day hurdles. I have been seeing a counsellor with whom I got on with extremely well. She is somebody that I trusted immediately, and have continued to see since then. Additionally, I am responding well to medical treatment and have learned extremely beneficial skills to help me improve how I deal with certain situations.
Sincerely,
Sophie Chapple
