Hello!
I applied for CPR last year due to mental health issues and being newly diagnosed and going through therapy. I was accepted and given 1 year funding discretion. Great! However, I stayed on the same course and came to realise I did not want to be studying this course. I had not had time to develop an idea of what I really wanted for myself due to making decisions in line with my mental state at the time. Now that I have had therapy and had time to become a whole person a lot of decisions I made in my life are not the same decisions I would make now. This includes my course. I failed the year as I had no interest in my current course anymore.
I really want to change my course and start again. I would need 1 year discretion again and I’m wondering if people think this is even possible.
This is not as simple as me just wanting to change course. My mental health clouded my judgement for years of my life and I did not have the capacity to make the right decisions for myself or understand what I wanted. It’s hard to make life changing decisions such as my university journey when you are clouded by mental health.
Any advice or info would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
