I'm a bipolar ADHD UCLA international student majoring in physics at UCLA. My bouts of depression have made it take me alot more time than expected to complete my bachelors and now I am out of funds. I was supposed to be done easily a year ago if not more. UCLA tuition for an international student is $26,000, and right now I have nothing left. My condition started getting worse once I got to UCLA. I got UCLA to give me a fee reduction but in return the school could no longer cover me under their medical insurance. I could no longer afford therapy. Just recently I had to stop my meds as well since they cost me over $300, and it was either them or food. I only have a quarter worth of classes left, i should have been done by june. But at this moment it doesnt seem I could pull off even rent and most likely I'll have to pack up and go back home. I have over $30,000 in student loans to add to that, that currently my parents are struggling to pay off. I've already drained them of nearly all their finances. If somebody can help me soon I'ld be highly grateful, otherwise bye bye for my UCLA degree. Email me if you would like more details
