Hello all,
I’m a freshman that’s currently been out of school for 2 weeks (soon to be 3) and am now homebound. A crazy amount of stress and other contributing factors (international move, impending state tests, other things I’m not comfortable sharing) have led to my hospitlization and some pretty disconserting diagnoses. Will future colleges look at this negatively? If so, how would I explain it? Don’t admissions officers look at mental health issues badly?
Don’t worry about colleges. Get your mental health under control. Work with your guidance counselor to see what acccomodations you can have for school work. You don’t need to explain anything to colleges.
You absolutely did not ruin your HS career nor any part of your future. In fact getting help will do nothing but improve your future.
