PT School Leave of Absence

I just finished my 1st year of PT school and made the difficult decision to take a year off to focus on my mental health. I finished the year in really good academic standing, but had to leave my first clinical rotation due to severe anxiety and lack of confidence (I’m talking zero self-esteem). I know that this decision to step away and seek professional help is probably for the best in the long run, but I am feeling very defeated and like a failure. Has anyone been in this situation before that can offer some reassurance? Thank you.
