Why would it make it harder, I'm allowed to return after 6 months, I just plan on going to therapy and in the mean time I will still study for the courses im gonna take at my own pace

I have a feeling you will not study for the courses in your time off, I would not rely on that idea.  Not trying to be a pessimist, but realistically if you are really going to "pre-study" for your classes in your leave of absence, you would not be taking a leave of absence in the first place.  This is like saving your old textbooks because you think you will go back and read them later on in your free time 10 years later- you will not.

It's a nice idea but unrealistic, take the time off and don't think about school at all until you glare ready to go back.

I would either travel (have a year walkabout), or find a hard labor job that will motivate you to finish school so you will not have to do that job forever.

Universities have a vested interest in increasing their graduation rate, so I would not worry about being able to return later on (unless your entire college career has been D and F grades the entire time), but if you have completed over 2 years this does not sound like the case for you.
