I’ve been trying to get a bachelors degree for ten years now! So sad. So I’ve spent a lot of time at college. The first university I went to the experience was awful. I started hearing voices before the end of the first year but somehow struggled through to my senior without a diagnosis or medication at a school where the average student had a 4.0 in high school. It was awful my grades kept getting worse and worse and I had to repeat classes in my major. I joined a christian club on campus filled with all these wonderful men and I ended up with none of them. I had one boyfriend from that but he was mean to me called me names and always ogled at other women called me fat loser all the time I didn’t even want to go out with him but the voices told me that God wanted me to marry this man. Then I dropped out. I kept getting weird calls and texts after that periodically that were sexual in nature and I don’t know who they were from. One time I got a prank call from some group of men. I answered the call because the call id was that of my sisters number. Then they claimed they were the government and I had to tell them if I had done anything wrong in my life and that they were the government and if I told them a lie I could get jail time. I eventually said not that I’m aware of and then they said it was a prank call and I heard a chorus of laughter from a group of people making fun of me and then they hung up. I changed my number after that. Then I went to community college over the course of four years and like almost no one talked to me. When I transferred to my second four year university I joined an accounting club and have been making friends albeit the relationships aren’t very deep but at least it’s been a positive experience. I tried joining a church group on campus that approached me while I was studying and got baptized by them. However I realized after that they were kind of a cult and I didn’t really share some of their beliefs so I left. College socially sucked overall and although I want to get a masters degree while working at the same time later I’m so sick of school. I still cringe when I think about my behavior when I was unmedicated and at the university.
During high school, everything was fine and I was normal. Sports, parties, girls, etc – it was awesome. Then I went to college and something clicked in a bad way. Freshman year wasn’t so bad – parties and more girls. But I eventually started isolating myself and started drinking heavily. Grades slipped and I lost the girl I should have married. It ended poorly
I had the best time of my life my first year of college. Was doing amazingly well and I had internships lined up with MIT professors. Second year was when I had my first episode and I’ve slowly gotten less and less functional since then. I’ve only been sick for two years but my life has changed dramatically.
paragraphs are our friends.
hey, school for me was ■■■■ but when i started to feel better on this new med about 2012 i wanted to pursue a career in social care, i wanted to give back but it didnt work out, i had a great time at college though i met some nice friends that i still talk to now,
I had a blow out in college though and i had to leave but i went back to study counselling but then i couldnt progress bc the ■■■■■ teacher was a complete cow, wouldnt do college again now,
now i’m just going to do some easy jobs, find a girl and have some babies 
thats the plan anyway haha
I got ill before college was a possibility.
College was okay until it got hard lol.
I got to a point where my cognitive functions maxed out and I couldn’t do the work. Psychosis happened around that time too. It was severe psychosis and it happened in one day/night. Really took 7 years to recover/be content. I’m still sick and disabled but I don’t feel like I’m in hell 24/7.
