That moment when you have to admit defeat and medically withdrawal from University due to the compounding effect of multiple disabilities/illnesses. 馃槥
I tried, friends. 
For two years, I gave it my all. 
Now, I鈥檝e got at least 3-6 months off to focus on trying to stabilize my health. I鈥檇 like to return for spring/summer, but it鈥檒l likely be in the fall.

@britt 
I'm so sorry it came to that. It's been obvious how much your education means to you right now, so I know this is a hard decision. I'm glad you're taking care of your health, though. That can be all too easy to ignore sometimes. 馃挏

If you鈥檙e wondering how you can help, there are a few answers to that question:
1) Find the people in your life living with disabilities, visible and/or invisible and ask them how you can meaningfully support them. Do it if you鈥檙e able.
2) For me, my main source of income is now my online shop at BrittBuilds3D. If you feel so inclined, supporting my shop can directly help me. https://brittbuilds3d.etsy.com - You can also place direct orders via DMs.
3) Most importantly: read about us, learn about us, and keep disabled people in your life even if you don鈥檛 understand what we are going through. Please don鈥檛 fade away.
