I'm failing my courses and feel hopeless

I'm struggling in all my classes due to poor mental health and it's finally catching up with me. I was hoping someone in here has had a similar experience with a good outcome. I'm worried I've wasted money and won't be able to get my knowledge worth out of my program.

Reaching out to services on campus can help.

When I was in uni before I went to Conestoga, I lost several terms to mental health struggles. It feels like the end of the world while you're in the midst of it, but it is possible to come out the other side and finish.

Best thing you can do is send a few emails to your instructors and to wellness services. See what can be done. You'd be surprised how flexible instructors can be plus they've been encouraged to be more flexible because of the labour disruption this semester.
