All through the first 3 years of college I struggled to attend class, do assignments, and even get out of bed.
My first year was the beginning of the torture that was college classes. Then I came home because of mental health and tried to attend a community college, after 2 semesters I had to drop out in the middle because I mentally could not even comprehend the classes.
Then I went back to school in Idaho where I wasn’t convinced I would survive, but I wanted my degree so bad. It didn’t end up being much easier in Idaho either. I would miss papers/ other assignments and then have to beg my teachers for extensions or a way to pass the class. I was getting C’s BARELY. I even got to the point where I was failing American foundations and went and balled my eyes out to my professor and told him about how much I was struggling. He had me do a couple extra assignments along with what was due to get a D.
He was so gracious and understanding but anyone else and I would have had to retake the class. I am so grateful for him.
I had to get so much help from my mom, my sister, and my boyfriend to complete assignments and papers. I continued to struggle no matter how hard I tried, strictly because I could barely function as a person let alone as a student.
College was the thing that brought me the most grief, stress, worry, and pain. My blood sweat and TEARS, tons and tons of tears, really did go into it. Throughout those semesters, I really wasn’t sure if I was going to pass each class until the final grades came out.
I would cry happy tears to see C’s.
Then when Kim found these gut brain axis products and I was able to titrate off my depression medication, I started getting all assignments in and attending 95% of classes. The last three semesters of my bachelors degree, I got A’s and B’s pretty easy.
NOW, I am a college GRADUATE with a real degree in Marriage and Family.
I’ve come out stronger, more mentally stable, more confident, married 😉 , and over all happier.
I am proud of the person I have become. I am proud of my accomplishments in and out of the classroom.
I learned about my major, but more importantly I learned about myself and my mental health.
I’ve found something that keeps me sane (these gut brain axis holistic products) and know that I will be able to conquer anything that this life throws at me, even if there’s tears involved in that conquering.
