That way, nobody gets hurt. Hey, and I think it’s a lot true anyway.

Had a guy once who posted…
“Don’t read the Dictionary. It’s boring and besides, the Zebra did it”.
To which I replied…
“Don’t blame the Zebra, the Aardvark started it!”
(I thought that was a clever retort on my part)

I used to play the piano in high school. I don’t any more though cuz the pressure from having to perform would probably only exacerbate the psychosis. I also stopped playing because after I got this illness, I stopped enjoying just about everything.
I was playing a lot of piano at the time of my diagnosis, srs.
Yea about the enjoyment thing.
I would just make myself try new things or a new class.
I hope the more things you try that you find something that you love to do.
At 25 there is a lot of time to find new stuff so keep trying. 
I’m afraid of everything. Even driving a car is too hard. I can barely drive to the psychologist’s and around my tiny little town. I’m so afraid of crashing. I’m so afraid of never finishing school, or getting a job. I feel so old. I still enjoy talking to my family and listening to music, but I just go to forums because I’m lonely and bored. I don’t know how I’m going to land a job if I can’t even drive to the hypothetical interviews in the cities nearby.
Driving is hard but you are doing it!
Give yourself a pat on the back.
I was scared to get a job but it was better than just doing nothing and thinking my life was over. Well I ended up liking the job my Mom found for me in the papers. Yes I’m older than Craigslist. There was one job I did not like in an office but then I found out I hate office drones and don’t have to do that.
So you try stuff and you learn. It’s scary yes. But you live and learn. 
What job are you doing right now? What job did you start out as? How did you do it? My dad tells me that if I just stay on the medicine I should be able to get a job eventually.
Well I was lucky in big cities in Md there were lots of jobs.
I knew I was screwed but I would not let that define me. I hated the doctors so I wanted to prove they were wrong.
I don’t know how Ill you are but I resisted being defined by illness. It took me 6 years to graduate but after working I knew what I wanted to do and what not to do.
I think you figure out what job you like to do. THEN go to school if the job needs it. If you work for 4 years you can build up more experience than just going to school or doing nothing.
Yea I had to take time off to recover from episodes but just dust yourself off and try again.
I kind of screwed myself because somehow I managed to stay in school for another two years after getting schizophrenia and hearing voices. I was delusional my first year at university,and then heard voices for the next two years. I had started my fourth year when I finally got two F’s and had to drop out. I wish I had dropped out sooner. Then three years after that I’m scrapping by at a community college, hoping to transfer to another university near home that isn’t as difficult to get into. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I originally wanted to be a pharmacist or a physician’s assistant, but the schizophrenia screwed me out of that. There’s no way I’m going to get into grad school at this point. I’m thinking that maybe at this point I can finish a bachelor’s degree and get a certificate as a paralegal.
