i am currently a student at Johns Hopkins University. I came back from a leave of absence this year- I took one last year because I had a lot of mental health issues and school was pretty much hell. I am a freshman again this year and I have done some stupid things that have isolated myself from the rest of the freshman class on social media and I think I have pretty much ruined my reputation at school. Plus I have just been accused of sexual harassment and misconduct and stalking somewhere even though I didn’t do anything. I think it’s all a conspiracy for the freshmen to get back at me for what I said and did and I am very paranoid that everyone hates me at school. I think I need to go somewhere where I can really restart my experience and make it the experience I really want college to be. I have a lot of emotional baggage and I also think I should go to a place where I don’t have any feelings or memories regarding that. Do any of you have any ideas or advice regarding what decision I should make?
It looks like your mental health issues aren’t completely resolved. You need to leave JHU and work with competent therapists so that you can learn to control your feelings of paranoia. Only when you are in a solid mental state should you return to college. And yes, JHU is probably not the right place for you. You need somewhere you can feel safe and supported.
