Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. I have spent most of my life being embarrassed over all of my failures. Embarrassment, regret and guilt. I’ve got all three in massive quantities. Sometimes the weight is so heavy I can feel it physically.
But you have to let go. You have to accept yourself for who you are. It is not your fault that you had to repeat those courses. As long as you were doing the best that you could do you have nothing to be embarrassed about.
The loans are something to be considered. I decided not to go back to college after I failed because I didn’t want to get any further in debt. So I can understand if you feel like continuing is not an option .
It seems strange to me that you would not be eligible for the same support as a continuing education student. Especially since many people with special needs would have to take courses part time. Are you registered as a student with special needs? I just realized you probably aren’t since you don’t have your diagnosis yet. That could complicate things. But I would check to make sure that what you are being told is right. It seems to me that the college should have an obligation to accommodate you.
