I never got my degree. I failed. And it’s haunted me ever since.

You should be proud of having a degree.

At least you tried. That’s better than some of us , including me. I was too weak to get past the obstacles on my own. Needed help and support that never came. Actually there wasn’t much help anyway back then. Having dysgraphia and a typing speed < 20 wpm(avg adult = 40 wpm) plus the executive dysfunction was a major barrier to success. Not forgetting the bullying related trauma.

Well done for getting a degree. I withdrew from mine after completing year 1 and still think about it sometimes.

I went back to school when I was 35 and earned both a bachelor’s and a master’s…i worked 5 months in my chosen field and then left because the sza symptoms got too bad and I could no longer function in a job where I had to interact with others. Ever since I’ve felt like a failure. Thankfully my student loans were forgiven due to “permanent and severe” disability. Other people tell me I’m not a failure but I don’t believe them. Still, I’m glad I got the full experience of university and always wish I could go back to that time when everything seemed to work out.

That is astonishing. Well done @WhiteRaven
Having that under your belt means you can never be considered a failure.

That’s a really cool degree to have. I have 4 associate degrees, but no bachelor’s. I would go back to school to get it but I could potentially lose my Section 8 voucher.

It’s a seperate doctrate for handling this illness.
My name is Sz.Mentality
Where we need to study and make a thesis and prove plus disprove every new creative thoughts we would get.
For us it’s never the same issue that comes up.
We fight a war in which we win and lose for couple of moments.
Then there are new enemies with new ways to overcome with strategies.

Threads like this fill me with admiration for the things people here have achieved, coupled with intense anger and hurt, because I never got the help and support I so desperately needed. I wouldn’t wish having a brain like a high class orchestra conducted by a drunken,third rate, conductor on anyone else . It’s immeasurably debilitating and frustrating. Much more so than any positive and negative symptom I’ve ever had.

I have a 2:1 honours in Philosophy and Social Policy. I was lucky that I didn’t get ill until afterwards
