Hi, I am new to the board. I have had schizo-affective disorder for 10 years. My first episode was prettty bad, I was in the hospital for two months. I was very agitated and irritable, it mushroomed from what appeared to have been from nowhere. The second episode was a few years ago, it was because I thought I didn’t need medications and/or something along the lines that I didn’t want to take them because of side effects. This was my fault. And I now know the importance of medications.
A little bit about me, I attend a university. Right now I am unemployed. I used to enjoy video games, not so much anymore. I want to get back into physical form. I enjoy basketball, running, and biking. I feel that I am at a point in my life where I am seeking a change in my life. This change would be in the form of a hobby, different friends or spiritual practice.
It feels as though I am in transitional stage in my life. It appears to me, that I am seeking people similar or more like myself.
Hi insidemind, I am considering Economics, or Communications, or perhaps Ethnic Studies as major. Right now I am studying Upper Division courses. I’m just trying get in the swing of things.
Nice to meet you. I was an economics major who switched to math. Big mistake. Math was too hard for me. Economics can be hard. Most schools require calculus. Go with your passion. I wanted to go to grad school or be a banker but then I got sick.
Communications or ethnic studies might be easier since you’re sick. Less stress and stuff. My advice is go with your passion and something not too stressful. Economics would be a great choice though. Would help with logical thinking and could open up more doors. Just stick with school though. I ended up dropping out.
