Freaking out!!!

I'm going away to college, and I got documention to get a medical single dorm for my SA. I got a reply from the college that I would get a single afterwards. NOW, my bill came out and it's not showing as a medical single charge.

I emailed the accounts office telling them the charge should be for a medical single, and they emailed back that I should call the guy at the disability office.

I'm so stressed!!! I thought I was getting a medical single. But now that I look back at the old email, he never said it was a medical single. He just said he confirmed that I can get a single.

I don't understand. They got my doctor's note and everything they wanted. I'm on a prescription for anxiety and depression. I have a legitimate illness. I wish I could feel comfortable enough to live in the same room with a fellow peer. I wish I didn't feel tense and obsess over my breathing 24/7 around my peers! But you can't see it, so I guess it doesn't count? UGH! I'm so angry and scared to do anything about it. I don't want to come off like someone faking sick for a handout. I absolutely try my best to do things without accomodations or assistance. This is the only time I've ever asked for an accomodation because of my anxiety or anything for that matter.

I realize that you might think, "Hey, you already got the single. Stop complaining. Just pay for the regular single." But I don't want a single. I need a single. I fantasize about how lovely it'd be to just be anxiety free and meet a roomate, a potential best friend, and not want to kill yourself because they might dislike me for whatever stupid reason. It's also nearly a THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE for the regular single rate. And I should pay more because someone doesn't think my illness counts???? I worked my butt off last year so I didn't have to take out a loan!

I'm so angry about this!! And I'm shaking because I know I can't stand up to anyone. Like when I got the wrong sandwich once someplace, and I confronted a worker abut it - they just apologized, DID NOTHING TO CORRECT IT, and I said, "Aww, it's okay." BUT IT'S NOT OKAY. IT'S NOT D':

WHAT DO I DO

I got documention to get a medical single dorm for my SA. I got a reply from the college that I would get a single afterwards

Keep calm and polite and explain the documentation you sent and that you believe a mistake has been made. If you no longer have the original of the documentation and they can't find it, ask your doc for another copy :thumbup:

On one hand, make any phone calls necessary to get your situation fixed. On the other hand, maybe a roommate is what you need to get some exposure and get better.

Thank you Kahira and Sacrament for responding to my post. Kahira, your simple reply calmed me down after a night of four hours of sleep. I think I had a bad bout of increased anxiety from the meds I'm on, haha. Anyway, thanks

I did call the office, but the person I needed to speak to wasn't available. Still worried about it, but I guess I'll just have to see what happens and what I can do.

Sacrament - Unfortunately, having a roommate would be too much for me. I really need my baby steps and safe place XD Just sharing a kitchen/dining area and bathroom with my suitemates will be difficult enough. I'm hoping that helps me get better

Well, then the "only" option you have is to make all necessary phone calls to get things sorted out
