Academic Plan
I plan to focus on my mental health moving forward. I’ve been doing some research and have some ideas for ways to help myself. One of the things that I think will benefit me is getting professional help and potentially getting a diagnosis as it seems my struggles are more than I originally believed them to be. I think speaking to a professional and getting a name for what I’m struggling with will help me find strategies to make my life easier. I also think it will help alleviate the shame and embarrassment surrounding my mental health and allow me to speak more openly about my struggles with others. I think it will also help to find people with similar struggles so I can feel less isolated and alone with my challenges. My plan also includes graduating and taking a break from my studies so I can work on myself without something like degree completion hanging over my head. I think this will help me truly focus on how to benefit myself long-term so I can overcome and cope with my struggles. Then I can come back and upgrade my degree back to a BAH when I’m ready.
