Due to self-harm attempts, I’m currently in a psychiatric hospital and have been here for almost two weeks. Im a freshman in college, US.
I recently got an email from my school saying they’re considering having a meeting with me and my "parents" about my "student status", and I’m honestly really stressed about it.
I really don’t want my parents involved or informed about my mental health situation. They don’t even know that I’m currently in a psych ward lmao
I don’t want to take a leave or pause the semester. I’ve been working my ass off trying to teach myself the course material while I’m here because I genuinely want to stay enrolled and continue the semester....
I’m a college student and I want to handle this myself as much as possible.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? Can a college require me to involve my parents or take a leave because of a psychiatric hospitalization?…
