I need some advice pursuing the PGDL now

[RaniaH062002]

Hello guys I need some advice.

So I’m currently doing the law conversion course (masters) at BPP and I failed one of my modules that I will have to resit and I imagine this will have immense consequences of getting a TC or a VS.

My mental health has also been completely down the drain and I am actively s*icidal. I know that is not an excuse but I think I do genuinely need help but I have no friends or support system so this forum is the only thing I really have…

I’m just wondering if it would better to drop out the PGDL and focus my time on applying for TC’s/VS’s in hopes I get it and a firm sponsors for my PGDL later down the line instead of me funding It myself. Thoughts?

Or maybe it’s better I drop the PGDL altogether and just start doing the SQE at my own pace.

Thoughts?

Hi @RaniaH062002, thanks so much for sharing your situation. My sense is that you should do what you need to prioritise your mental health first, and you can review what you need to do to focus on your law firm journey later, even if that means taking some time out. Have you spoken to BPP and a professional about this?
