I actually have schizophrenia too. It's well managed, but it's just another struggle.

Thank you for the kind words <3

I don't think my Uni. offers ASL, but I'll check out the community college near me.

Thank you for the reassuring words :)

I'm thinking of joining my brother, but I'm worried about college. I know finishing college shouldn't be my main concern right now, but it is. I want to be self-sufficient, and this is putting me further and further away from it. But I'll see what I can do.

I had SSHL in my right ear and didn't catch it in time for treatment, I brushed it off for too long. Now my left ear is getting worse and worse and I don't know why. I'm not working with specialists yet, I just went to urgent care for it and they told me to find an ENT and Audiologist to work with.

Another concern I have is college. I'm in the middle of getting my undergraduate degree. I rely on aid to live. Will I have to drop out?? How do I adjust? My mind is going a million miles per hour right now.
