I tried. I really did. But I took the final I was the most worried about on Friday and grades are back. I was a single point away from getting the grade I needed to pass the course. I haven't gotten the official email yet, but its coming. I'm lost, horrified, and disappointed in myself. I'm knee deep in debt with no other skills besides vet med and a relatively new dislike for school. I dedicated so much of my life to this and now I'm in my late twenties with nothing to show for it. I think I might need advice because there's really nowhere to go from here for me.

Edit: Thank you all for your advice. To clarify, I've already reached the maximum amount of resit examinations and class retakes that my school allows. So unless I can appeal, there's nothing I can do. My school if very picky with appeals and usually only approve them if there is a medical issue going on or if the student is in their final year. Yes, I've been struggling with what I'm now suspecting is depression since I started school but I never told any of my advisors. I'd feel fine after making changes, but with my self-worth being so closely tied with how I do in school for so long, it was pretty easy to slip back into it and not even realize. With me probably being in the bottom of my class, no close friends, no close advisors, and having failed every second chance given to me, I wouldn't be a good candidate for an approved appeal.
