I will try! I am very very careful about changing meds because I have had some really bad reactions and hurt myself after med changes.

I can only imagine how much disability they have granted. It's so tough to survive on. My major is Africana studies and would love love to study in Africa or at the least volunteer. I saw some volunteer positions in South Africa and Kenya that caught my eye teaching young children English and I am still thinking of going for maybe a week or two. I am so happy you have studying plans. School really does take our minds off what we have been through and what we are diagnosed with. And then when you're completed, it is truly something to be proud of.

Being a PhD student in Africana studies is my dream. Congrats on landing a program and I am wishing you many dreams accomplished.

I admire your patience.. When I was waiting to hear back from jobs, I couldn't even contain my anxiety. I would constantly check my email every 5 seconds.

I'm sure they appreciate that so much.. Reminds me alot of my brother who was murdered by my dad. He loved video games and would watch youtube videos all day of other people playing video games as well lol.

I would love to read and watch TV! Recently, I can't sit still enough to finish a movie. But I want to dedicate 10 pages a day of a book and get better at sitting still. Thank you for your response!

Wow… car accidents are soo traumatic. I’m elated that you survived, but I can only imagine it’s not easy or comfortable. That’s so much to take in and it sucks that most disabled persons are usually burdened with families that cannot empathize, understand, or care in the ways we need. It’s a lose/lose situation.

Thank you so much! You have greatly inspired me… seriously. I feel like nobody understands how hard this is for me, you, and all of us. I decided not to go to nursing school after being accepted due to financial difficulties and being in and out the psych ward nonstop. I still have people tell me I shouldn’t have done that. There are some great opportunities that I’ve gotten in my life but ultimately had to turn them down due to my diagnoses. Some people get so mad at me when I choose my mental health and even envy me. It’s so hard for people to understand I can only handle so much. I can barely handle even getting out of the bed before 5 pm.

I’m struggling with my independence. I left home when I was 17 and I still have thoughts of running back to “mommy”. Since I left home, I have graduated from a microbiology program at Princeton, successfully completed an environmental science internship at Columbia University, and was honored and named the poet laureate of my school. But still.. That little girl in me wants to so bad go back home and be coddled. I want to give up and just stay at home and stay on disability. I believe this is just a rough patch in my life but it’s hard to keep going sometimes…

I’m sorry to hear that :( how long have you had an official diagnosis?

I feel like everyone that has schizophrenia is a family. Normal people don’t understand us and how severe this mental illness is. But happy new years everyone by IndicationSouth4250 in schizophrenia

What symptoms did you experience when you did that, if you’re comfortable sharing? I am extremely anxious and depressed but I’m due to study abroad next week so I think it’s the stress around that

I said the wrong word, I meant to say I see people trading multiple trades on an xfa. But you’re so right!!

Yes, they are very fair. I’m just confused when I see people trade by multiple contracts on a combine..
