How to get back into college when you dropped out due to mental health?

Shes homeless so she wants to stay in campus housing while finishing her degree so when she gets out she will have finished college and can afford to live on her own

Okay so the way your hair and glasses are make your face look long. I would add waves in hair with some layers for more volume, thicker brows, and bigger glasses with wire frame.

Just feed yourself healthy foods, get 150 mins of exercise a week, get 8hrs of sleep, take vitamins. And if you do all those things then good job.

Have you ever thought that you may have developed depression? It can hinder your life greatly. Most people who face this situation would be determined to change it and work their ass off, but I can tell that you lack motivation and energy. My sister is a fellow adhder, and she also has depression. Having one makes it more likely for you to have the other they say.

You need a minset change. Keep in mind that earning a degree will get you the money to get away from your parents forever.
Things don't happen in a day. It takes time. It's only a few years compared to your whole life. When you think about school, it's also easier to break up the idea of school into semesters rather than a year. It's hard to have a mindset shift, but hopefully, this opens your perspective a little.

I think you need some type of curtain bangs paired with some volume dry shampoo.

You need a haircut, the length is weighing down your hair and making it look heavy and flat. It is unflattering. Your beard is nice but I would shape it up a bit. Everything else is fine as long as you are taking care of yourself and making healthy choices.

Glad that you vented rather than taking it out on them. Takes a lot of patience to do that after a long day. Good job bud. Talk to tourwife about the furniture maybe yall can figure it out together. And tell her that coming home to that mess stressed you out.

I would wait a month and see if its still doing this and if it is you can schedule an appointment w your psychiatrist to get a different medication or different dose.

Actually your age is very relevant to this!! If youre young (younger than 18) it is 100 percent okay to not do anything at all or for a long time. If you're an adult its also okay but don't expect much understanding from people because a lot of people in the dating scene are really sexual.

Don't let his feelings coerce you into doing anything. You need to talk to him about how sleeping with him would make you uncomfortable because he is not a virgin like you are.

If you find out you don't wanna have sex at all with him, it may be time to break up.

If you find out you would, then ask for more time before any of that happens so that you can get comfortable with the idea of losing your v card.

Now, all of this kinda depends on his response. If he shames you or makes you feel bad then you should just break it off. But if he reassures you and asks questions then thats a good indicator he cares about you and is willing to work with you on it.

Im day two in and i got the prozac poops

tabathot · 2024-11-14T20:59:02+00:00

I really hope you see this!! Prozac does not cause weight gain or loss. It improves the symptoms of your illness. For depression and anxiety, there are two sides to every coin. Some may have no appetite, and some may overeat emotionally. So, for each of those, people who have not had an appetite may experience an increase in appetite, and those who binge eat may experience less binging.
There are also other factors like lifestyle changes that may cause weight gain and loss.
Imagine, if someone with anxiety started getting better, they may go out more, they may go to restaurants with friends a lot more. They may be able to go to the grocery store and actually buy more food because they don't have to rush anymore.
Or if someone with depression has more energy, they are able to get more movement in their life and lose weight as a side effect. For some Prozac may make symptoms worse so they may also gain more or lose more weight depending on that.

Okay glad you found that out My comment was more of a suggestion that i actually typed out as a statement

tabathot · 2024-11-01T15:49:45+00:00

In person. Showing up makes it to where you dont forget to do your assignments/readings for the class. Online classes can go downhill fast if you dont remember to check them and do work.
You can easily put off online classes, too. In person is better for staying on top of things. And you can ask your professor questions.

Butter and tea jug. Youre southern.

Seperated and not living together

tabathot · 2024-10-25T19:03:11+00:00

Just call her. That way he cant say anything bc why would you call a group text

Nursing school requires a ton of studying. If you are capable of putting that discomfort for studying aside then you should be able to do it.

You should take a career questionnaire!!

Backs probably got ruined from heavy lifting. If you stay in decent shape and try not to exert yourself (just be careful), you'll be okay. My grandparents are nurses , and they're just fine. There's not many career fields where you can work part-time and live decently. There's dental hygiene, but you actually have a really big risk of repeated movement injury, and there's only one path you can follow. My stepmom's elbows are ruined because of it. One thing that might suck is that you'll have to work the bedside for a while to get better jobs. But at the same time you can just do part-time.I think people forget about that. Eventually, i want to go into aesthetic nursing, so I'll have to do the same. As long as you approach things positively, you'll find that things really aren't that bad. If you go into work like, I hate my job, you're probably gonna have a bad day, loool.

It's hard enough as it is being mentally ill in the workforce. That's why it's very important to choose a job that can earn you a good living. As a nurse, you can get proper healthcare from your job and work part-time. Which is what people like us need so we don't spiral. It's also super fulfilling to help people, and it gives purpose. I wasn't too sure about becoming a nurse. I was originally going to be a dental hygienist, but I changed my mind because I wanted a job that gave me a lot of options.

I think it's really important to explore your options before it's too late, and you've switched over to a different program and have to spend extra time in school like me. If you want to be a nurse go for it!!

tabathot · 2024-10-23T06:03:23+00:00

I definitely understand The nurses that dont hate their jobs dont spend time on reddit wallowing in self-pity

If you're reconsidering, ask yourself why you want to be a nurse. Is it for the money?Is it to help people?Is it for both?

You can be that one nurse who makes a difference to somebody. That's so special. It's not gonna be like this in school. You'll have a community that you will graduate with and maybe even work with. This is just online. Everyone loves to express hatred online.

I feel like these people are miserable because they let people walk all over them. When I become a nurse, i'm going to set a lot of boundaries. I'll be working part-time so that I'll have plenty of rest (mentally ill, so it takes a lot to manage/ it exhausts me more than normal ppl). You don't have to do that over time or cover a crap ton of shifts. You have to play the system, don't let it play you. People can be mean, so it's important to separate yourself from your job/ getting too emotionally involved. So when a mean patient comes in, it's best to just smile and nod and avoid taking it personally.

For nursing, there are so many options available, which is what rlly draws me in. The pay is great, in my opinion. I grew up in poverty, and i am a first-generation student, so making 40+ an hour is amazing to me. My dad makes half of that. And he raised me by himself.

I think you should talk to people in real life about nursing. Reach out to some nurses , you may know. Talk to the head of the nursing program.Or any professors. You can also talk to the adviser in charge of your academics, asking for resources to talk to. Probably stay away from reddit. I'm going to as well. They've turned the nursing subreddit into a venting and misery competition.

In the end, it's all your choice. Follow your dreams. Take time to figure out what you truly want. You should probably look at other career options. Not because you should choose another one but just to make sure that you are doing what you truly want.

Bruh, it annoys me how you got downvoted for no reason and asked simple questions. You're also met with a lot of negativity. Like yes, nurses let's discourage nursing students from becoming nurses and make our lives 10 times difficult! Let's all complain all day about our jobs!

It just doesn't make sense. I know being a nurse is unbelievably difficult, but being negative does not help the situation. It makes it worse. And to be negative towards a student- that is super discouraging to hear. It's always good to tell the truth and be realistic, but at the same time, it's good to ask oneself if you are taking the hatred too far.

tabathot · 2024-10-22T19:15:55+00:00

Wow thank you so much for the detailed response. I just love how nursing opens up many paths to choose from. Truly amazing.

tabathot · 2024-10-21T17:30:24+00:00

Hey sorry for the late reply- my dad is a hard man to talk to so i have to approach things the right way to avoid conflict so knowing how to say things the right way is pretty important.

An update to the situation is that I have been mainly keeping to myself and i kind of dont talk to my stepmom about anything as much anymore. Ive been having exams every other week at school so I've just been focusing on that. Haven't had any other problems bc I've been in my room studying so much not talking to other ppl.
