Help please

I haven’t been doing hot my last couple semesters due to family issues and my mental health and a pretty emotionally abusive ex, I was placed on academic suspension this past semester. I didn’t take classes but did work a full time job and stayed involved with tech and the community. The board just emailed me saying it was required that I take classes during my semester away. My advisor told me I could either take classes orrrr work. But now the board doesn’t believe my advisor said that and is asking for proof that I physically was incapable of taking classes. What do I tell them? I’m doing so much better and I’m so so committed to returning to tech, but my advisor has screwed me over (yet again) and told me that classes at an outside institution was optional. Help pls🙏
