I found this article very interesting and I can relate to it in many ways. Finding this article was a relief in knowing I am not alone. Has anyone else felt this way or have had the experience to talking to a teacher or professor about this topic?

“I’m not saying to just let it slide. I’m asking you to be empathetic, understand that I’m a student facing an illness and help me succeed.” Wow what an awesome article thanks so much for sharing. There is so much ignorance when it comes to teachers helping students with a mental illness. It is so true that one of the biggest things they can do is just care and be empathetic. This author totally hit the nail on the head.
