Dear W.P. (aka. The student suing Princeton following a forced medical leave),
Best of luck with your case. I relate a lot to things written in your lawsuit. I especially relate to the idea of living in constant anxiety trying to comply with the readmission requirements. I also can relate a lot to the issue of the campus counseling center betraying confidentiality and contacting non-health professional school officials. It was terrifying to realize how imperfect confidentiality is.
About the gap in your academic record. I was really worried about that, but no one has ever noticed or questioned it.
I hope you win and can help make some changes in the policies at Princeton.
I imagine the lawsuit is a stressful route. I beat myself up periodically for not taking the lawsuit route. The OCR complaint seemed better since it was less aggressive and I wasn’t to stay at the school. But I wonder if I had pursued the lawsuit route if I could have had more of an impact. I hope it works out for you.

Ugg! Thanks for sharing. I had a period of time where I felt like if I did kill myself that the school would be partially to blame because of the massive impact their discrimination had on me.
You are lucky you can write someone the psychiatrist (fourth year) that I was seeing and made me feel soooo much more stable dropped me after his residency and refused my e-mails his name is Dr ******* ********** and he is ay *** in ********* I just want anyone to know how he dropped me and broke my heart and now I am totally lost!
This comment is totally true, I am not a farce he refused to see me, for any minimum amount of time and made me feel horrible. ********** is responsible!!!!!!!!! He was my only hope and he ditched me!@
