Being kicked off course

Hi, I recently enrolled for a foundation degree course and was having a good period in which I was applying. However, the following week I struggled a lot to get out of the house, even to go to a local shop. I couldn't attend my local college for this reason. The same happened on the proceeding days on which I was supposed to attend. My tutor said to let her know about anything so they could help.

Unfortunately, I have periods in which I believe I will be fine and that I'm getting better, and then I have a sudden drop in which there is no hope and utter despair.

So far, I've missed an induction day (but still enrolled, with student ID), and two compulsive days (it's two days a week, so I've came in on days in which I felt better, but not the days where I had to attend where they were bad days).

On Monday, my tutor messaged me on Facebook saying that if I didn't attend by the end of the week, that I would be withdrawn from the course.

I have tried as best as I could this week to get ready to go out but couldn't, no matter how hard I tried. This has been a very difficult week where I've been isolated from outside and have had to rely on help of friends.

My problems are of mental health, one of which is gender dysphoria which I often find completely unbearable. I do also find myself depressed after this and struggle with anxiety and paranoid thoughts, it doesn't take much to start all this either.

I've tried ringing the tutor yesterday with remaining calltime before it was used up and requested for a callback but didn't receive one. I also informed her that I struggled to get ready and that I couldn't due to mental health, but she didn't reply. I'm not too sure what to do.

TBH I have no sympathy for you OP you took the place of someone who would've done well on the course and basically squandered it so you deserve the kick.


Gender dysphoria, anxiety and depression all things that are convenient and excuse you from any responsiblity from missing substantial university days.

I suffer from generalised anxiety disorder and I have been upfront with my uni from day 1 and they have been supportive through my medical training. The university are not mind readers you need to communicate your issues.
