They likely aren't going to find out about you failing your classes, at least not straight away
This is correct, and honestly, they might not find out ever. I can pay for SOME classes with a summer job (legally allowed on the military base), and can just… not tell them. Ever. If I fail this class I am NEVER failing another one, I literally cannot do this to myself anymore. There's no reason for them to find out unless I tell them.
Depending on how your grades were before, you might only end up on academic probation. If that isn't the case and you end up on academic suspension then it will likely only be for a semester the first time around.
I have no idea what academic probation is. Hopefully I will not have to know.
How is your relationship with your parents? On the chance that they are likely to find out, the only advice I can really give is to be open with them about this and about your mental health struggles.
Okay. Not horrifically bad, not great. I try to talk to them 2-3 times a day so they don't get worried about me. I don't do nearly as much cleaning and family activities as I should and they get annoyed at that.
If not, then you can try going to academic advising and talking to them about what to do from here and maybe see if they can get you in touch with any mental health resources that the school offers.
My school isn't a school in the typical sense. I go to the education center on an overseas US military base in Europe. It is not a university. Just a small building where some professors teach. They do not offer mental health resources. I do not speak the language here, there is no IRL support for me.
pass or not, i should be fine. I was really blowing this out of proportion, it's not the end of the world. thank you for your patience and helping me through thinking it out.
