(((extra background: i need to take certain pills to function, like antidepressants and vitamins. the school has been informed of this multiple times over the years)))

little background: my school has an optional 1-2 week trip to an english-speaking country that is selected year by year, so that students get to practice their english irl while meeting with the culture n everything. it's a really nice thing, and this year will be the first time i (theoretically) am able to partecipate.

it's quite the hefty price, considering the bus to the airport, the plane, the family you'll be staying in, the school you'll go to and just all the activities that are included-- so i never even thought the school could cancel your flight.

the flight is, supposedly, the 6th of april (yes, in two days!!), and everyone already provided their ids and everything, and is ready to board. problem being, i sprained my ankle during PE on monday (the first of april... haha).

now, I didn't break anything, and i can walk almost like i did before (i still waddle a little, but I'm sure it'll be back to normal in a day), but the school is set on on making me reconsider partecipating in this trip.

they've called my mom off work multiple times to tell her we needed more medical documents to "make sure I'm able to walk autonomally" and that "i was safe to walk on dirt".. wich, wouldn't have been a problem, if the flight wasn't in TWO DAYS. just finding a doctor available to check me up and write those documents was hell, not to mention how much it all costed (if they don't ask anything else tomorrow, we've had to spend an extra €120+ on this).

they've called my mom like, thrice, to ask her if she was sure i could board and if she was sure it wasn't better to leave me at home -- after we already comunicated i was healthy and alright!! i understand worrying and calling once, twice is already a stretch, but asking me to not partecipate thrice? after we paid, what, 1.5k in fees?? is a sprained ankle that big of a tragedy???

had that been the only problem they've brought up, i would've half understood, but since i applied for this they haven't stopped bothering over my prescriptions - getting to the point of telling me i could not bring my pills to the trip. (wich, I can't randomly get off my antidepressants for more than a week, unless you WANT me to feel like shit)

I've had professors take me out of class to ask me if i was safe to go to another country, if i was sure I wasn't going to have panic attacks there (wich, i hate them for jinxing 😀), if i.. KNEW HOW TO TAKE MY MEDICATION..?? if i knew they had different foods, and if i knew they s p o k e e n g l i s h. acting as if i was 5.

they also argued (heavily) with my mom over me taking my medication abroad, saying it's illegal (it's not), saying it's dangerous (it's not), saying I'm not old enough to have these prescriptions (I'm not).

they've managed to say that i sprained my ankle on purpose to cause them problems, and that I don't actually need my medication-- that's just another thing i pretend just to be a troublemaker.

i just feel like they're trying everything in their power to not have me board the day after tomorrow, am i just overthinking this?? aita for tripping?? just needed to get this off my chest lmao, they've made this whole thing 100x more stressing than it was.
