Realistically, am I screwed? I have mitigating circumstances, but now I do feel determined to pull my finger out and catch up. I'm in first year.
Given that you would have missed a ton of lectures, tests etc., I would call it alarming but not to the point of being screwed though you're close to that
Does your department know about your mitigating circumstances? If yes then you ought to be able to speak to the lecturers to catch up on what you missed. If no then you should probably tell them.
In the grand scheme of things missing a few weeks in first year probably isn't going to cause you to fail your degree.

First year grades don't generally count but it's a great time to boost your academic writing skills. Also, stuff that you learn this year - even if just skimming through the 16 or so powerpoints, may be useful for the future.
You've submitted mitigating circumstances, so they'll have to take this into account.

If you have mitigation I wouldn't worry too much plus you're first year so it should be okay. If you are really worried contact the uni or do you have a tutor to talk to? It's good to talk to someone in the uni and you can talk to them about anything! Hope I have helped could you please help me out and fill out my dissertation survey it only takes 30 seconds!
