Petition Letter: Appeal Letter

My name is Yuyan Wang. I am appealing to drop my first year in Queen¿¿s University (Fall and winter term, Bachelor of Arts and science, 20202021).
I am an international student and also a novelist, and it can be said that writing is the most important part of my life. I am alone in Canada. Only two people often contact me. One is my best friend and the other is my boyfriend who has been with me in China for six years. I broke up with my boyfriend in the summer vacation last year because he is going to stay in China to go to university and does not plan to come to me. I just accepted it calmly, because I think he must have been thinking for a long time. No crying, no reproach for quarreling. But every time I think about it, I feel like my heart is cut by a knife.
I am very introverted and rarely socialize in Canada, so my best friend became the only person I can talk to at that time.
But at the beginning of October last year, my most trusted friend secretly shared a novel I had written for four years and it was still revising, which led to leaks and was plagiarized by others. As a result, I lost the only trusted friend in my life and the motivation to write. This was an extremely serious blow to me. My heart was totally broken. I depended on her emotionally and regarded her as the closest person besides my parents.
Broken heart, pain, despair and loneliness swallowed me, so that I sleep upside-down day and night every day, and I feel tired from living. This is not as simple as losing a friend for me. I cannot face the memories with her. At that time, she took away all the good memories I had with her for these years.I couldn¿¿t study because it was a very serious blow to me and involved copyright disputes. Many events beyond my control.
I didn't write this letter early because I don't know this and didn't ask for help.
My previous life state was completely shattered. I don¿¿t know which friend I can go to share the new things I discovered, my ideas, my life.The strong sense of loneliness suffocates me. I didn¿¿t communicate with my parents in time. I tried to seek some psychological help online, but it didn¿¿t work. I was still living just because I was afraid to die. Simply, learning is completely autistic, the spiritual world collapses, but lying in it. I refused to go to the cafeteria. Live on instant noodles. Unwilling to change. 24 hours a day, as long as I want, I can break down and cry anytime.
After knowing my real situation, my parents talked a lot with me and let me get out slowly these days.
So I want to suspend school for a year and come back to school next term. I'm still self-isolate in China, because I had some problems with my body during the previous hunger strike, which manifested as hypoglycemia, weakness, and frequent dizziness. My parents will take me to see a psychologist. If you need a doctor¿¿s certificate, I can also upload it later.
Although my mood is still in a relatively low period, I believe it can be adjusted later. This is also the reason why I returned to China. I need to socialize and make some new friends. Changing to a new environment will make me feel a lot better.
I think I am able to make a successful return to my studies.

Academic Plan

Academic Plan: I am not a depression patient, so I don't think the state of this semester will last long. But if there is a big emotional change in the future, I will try to communicate with the psychologist. Next year I will move out and find a reliable roommate, so that I will not be alone in pain.

I will try my best to break things down and make plans, so that I don¿¿t accumulate more and more, and finally reach the point where I can¿¿t finish it.

I will keep connecting with my international Student Advisor so I can gat more Suggests.
