I was on Abilify, I graduated in 2019. I can’t study now on my current meds, I’ll have to go back on Abilify but I wasn’t good mentally on Abilify eventhough I was on it for 8yrs

I was thinking the same thing, but then I realized I would do the same thing there that I do everywhere else, and that is stay in my room all the time.

I would still consider going back on them and then work to pay for your studies. Manage the side effects with behavioural interventions. I know you’re skeptical about any treatment that doesn’t come in a pill, but it works for quite a few of us.

Hello, I also done some college, I have a bachelor in Biochem and now I’m doing a masters in Data Science.
It took me a ton of years to get the bachelor, then when I started working psychosis struck. I felt terrible for a year, and done a ton of mistakes that I would never do if I was healthy, most of which I still regret nowadays.
With that said, after having spent about 2 months in the psych ward(which I’ve done a year ago), I realise that having nothing to do is worst than having responsabilities like group projects or work.
So I totally understand why you miss it, I also missed it a year ago when I was at the hospital. Hopefully you can continue your studies, or even find work that you are able to do.
Best of luck

That would be running in circles. You want to move forward, so take measures against such side effects.

I went to college from age 18 to age 42. I am not sorry I did it. I have an. AA in art and a BS in biology with a minor in environmental studies. Somehow I just liked college. I can’t work, because of arthritis, tendonitis, and fibromyalgia. It limits what I can do.
