How come you'd forfeit last semester? Do you have incompletes left over?
You'd have to forfeit this semester for even, say, a weeks' hospital stay to get you through the worst? Does your school have anyone in the administration whose job it is to help students in crisis to deal with academic issues? Or a peer counseling service that could help you deal with logistics?
Can your instructors work out a plan to get you notes and allow you to try to get some work done if you can't make it to all your classes for a while? If your present state continues and you don't get more aggressive treatment, I'd worry you may not be able to keep up with academics.
Are there any options for an intensive day program that might allow you to make it to at least some of your classes? Just a few thoughts. You are resourceful.
I can understand it would be depressing for you to lose more school. But if it comes to it, two lost semesters are minor if your life's in danger. Glad you wrote back.
