Hi, let me preface this by PLEASE be nice 😛 I'm a longtime SDN lurker.
I have severe depression and generalized anxiety disorder. Despite having these mental health issues I've been successful in my academic career but I have recently made a decision to take a year off including this semester (yes, I know it is very late in the semester..)
How would I go about doing this? I have all the paperwork of course..my college is very awesome and accessible with alot of information online.
I just don't know if I should email my teachers before hand and tell them the reason? It just seems a little bit weird to me...
I am going to email ALL of them tomorrow to set up times to meet with them. I just need some advice from people...I feel kind of lost..
Thanks in advance 🙂
EDIT:
By the way I have a psychiatrist and I am trying to find a new therapist since moving back home. He has advised me that taking a year off would benefit me greatly and is willing to help me out with all the paperwork.
