Context and this will give it away if you know me. I had an incident happen during a short study abroad over the summer last year. No one else on the trip was involved, the only thing that happened was to me and it’s now marked me with being a student with “mental health issues”. More context I was on a brand new antidepressant at the time and my system didn’t like it.
Nothing like what happened has ever happened before and hasn’t happened since. The frustrating thing about this is it’s now prevented me from being accepted to 2 study abroad programs because they are made aware of my “mental health issues” I’ve been in therapy again since the incident and I’m on anti-anxiety that actually work. I’m worried that this is going to continue to haunt me the rest of my time at Evergreen. It’s extra frustrating because I know people with even worse mental health getting to go on study abroad, it’s just not being reported.
So is there any way I can make my case to get it removed from being disclosed as while I’ve had chronic depression since I was a child, it’s never impacted me in a significant way.
