Emotional Instability, Dysfunctionality
I am a postgraduate student in my final semester. I had to return home on Sat (March 19) night to Mumbai bec circumstances there had become extremely difficult for me. I am currently struggling with severe anxiety over university-related issues and have experienced multiple panic attacks over the last 3 days.
Beyond the low motivation, energy, and general emptiness that I generally experience with my depression, I have recently been feeling increasingly uncomfortable and unsafe in that setting, mostly due to my social setting and the people there. I have been crying daily and feel hopeless about my current situation. I do not want to return to the university until I feel more comfortable, but I already have low attendance and I'm afraid if I don't go back now, I will not be able to graduate this semester. My academic work has also suffered greatly due to all this. I need urgent support. I have booked an appointment with a new doctor for tomorrow but I need more guidance. Thanks a lot

Hi... Please be assured that your academic performance is not directly related to your mental health but your mental health is taking a toll due to your academic pressure.
I have worked on several such cases during my tenure with BITS Pilani. Academic Institutes do consider genuine cases and give students a chance to complete their degrees with or without gap. It varies from case to case basis. But mental health is considered as an important variable these days.
So please share your concerns with your university professors or staff or medical/counselling professionals available on campus.
Also, in the real world your skills and abilities matter more than just your grades/degrees. You will see people with very limited education reaching places. So just give yourself an even chance.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Career Guidance and Counselling is required.
