Petition Letter

Petition Letter: To whom it may concern;
I am writing to late drop the course Econ348 which enrolled in the 2019 winter and waive the requirement to Withdraw for Three Years
I am saddened by the failure of my final exam and the low grades of my usual homework, although I have fully prepared the exam and once thought that I can have a excellent grade at the end of the period, such as 90/100. At the beginning of this exam, I feel the discomfort of the body, such as the tension at the beginning of the exam. Usually, I only get nervous for a few minutes at the beginning of the exam, but this nervous mood and the trembling and numbness of the body lasted the whole exam until I walked out of the examination room. I have been encouraging myself to complete the exam during the exam, so I have been overcoming my discomfort and want to complete the exam. It is a pity that I can't control the feeling that the whole world is shaking all the time. Although it makes me very surprised because I don't know that I am sick, I will explain it to you soon. When I walked out of the classroom I am nearly walked out by help. I was numb with four limbs, dizzy, very emotional, and the heart jumped very fast. The staff at the test room were very patient. They helped me fill out the list of interrupted exams, and the school staff sent me to the KGH. Where did I see the doctor, but the doctor there did not sure why my body be like that.
A few months before the exam, I probably returned to Queen's University in September. I am really sad and with anxiety every day, the days spending with my friends (roommates) consume a lot of energy, I thought about I need to achieve the GPA at 1.9. My roommate always feel that I was an outgoing girl, but they didn't know that my mood was really bad every day. I couldn't sleep every night. I could barely fall asleep until 4 or 5 in the morning, I could cry all night with no reason and came to school with a tired body in the morning. At the same time, I feel like narcolepsy. I can sleep because of my bad mood, sleep from morning to night, and then continue to sleep from the night to the morning. During that time, I always felt that only dreams were happy. I can't concentrate on learning, but the subconscious of myself is reminding myself that I must study. The campus I saw was gray. I don't know why. I thought it's just a bad mood and thought it's related to what happened in childhood, but I think I can recover soon. I also tried to call the phone number provided to me by the school. I don't know how to talk about it, and one of the phone number I called told me that psychological counseling may take 3 months for the appointment to be made, so I will consider going back to China to learn more. After finished the final exam of Econ348 I feel I really need to see the doctor, I back home and go the fourth people¿¿s hospital of Hefei, the doctor¿¿s told me is anxiety and depression and told me it had been a long time. Then I start my 4 months Psychotherapy, at the same time of taking the medicine, I need to talk to the doctor which is the psychotherapy 1hours each week. After a long period of treatment, the doctor said that I still have to continue taking medication and online psychotherapy using video with the doctor so that I can continue my academic life.
The attached documents are my outpatient medical treatment opinions that have been translated fairly. In fact, mental illness affects my life from the freshman to the present. The doctor said that the reason is very complicated. At the end of my freshman year, the school asked me to take a year off. I didn't realize that my mental health affected my studies. I didn't think about going to check my mentality until the long-term emotional collapse in the 2019 school year and the accident in the ECON 348 final exam. At the end of the 2019 winter term, my GPA is 1.18, and at the end of the 2017 winter term it is 0.62. In 2019, I did my best to meet the school's requirements. In September of this year, I still have two extensions Exam, I will do my best to finish them.
I sincerely hope that you could consider it in good faith, I will be very grateful and appreciate.
Sincerely yours,
DI HU(20001755)
