Dear Anita

I think that I will still have access to Transcendence group and other support groups if I withdraw from Organic Chemistry. I will still  be able to attend anxiety support groups, Transcendence group for transgender people and still be able to attend meditation groups on campus.

I likely won’t have counseling services or other wellness services like psychiatrists and nutritionists because I won’t be enrolled in classes. I talked to my counselor today and she suggested going to the Tutoring Center and reaching out to the advisors or the professor. I am thinking of reaching out to the professor this week to see if there are ways to catch up but I feel like I’m already quite behind. I want to have access to the counselors and perhaps look into the psychiatrist services on campus but I know that if I withdraw I likely will not be able to. So I’m trying to stay in the class, but my anxiety is causing me to feel overwhelmed. I just feel like I’m struggling a lot just to work on daily tasks and even though I feel okay there is still a lot of anxiety in me that makes it hard to focus on things and I have to battle that. Even though my days have been going okay with the looser schedule and I have more time to take a break from classes, I still have this restlessness that is difficult to get rid of. I try to focus on the positive and seek out resources that help, but the anxiety is still very prominent and it can be straining sometimes. I wish there was a way to let go of the anxiety a bit.
