I am having so much anxiety about it too!! :frowning:

Do you all think I’ll be able to handle it?

So excited for you :smile::smile::smile::smiley::smile::smile::smiley::smiley::smiley:

Yeah totally. Just if you can plan your day ahead and organize tasks should be fun :sunglasses:

Good luck!! I’m sure you can handle it so long as you manage your time well. Try not to take more classes than you can handle, try to stick to only one or two super difficult classes per semester if you have any and have the rest be easier electives, do homework on time so it doesn’t pile up and overwhelm you, etc.

Thank you @Anna yeah I am only taking 1 class. It’s only 2 months long and it’s 4 credit hours. So it’s probably going to be a little intensive in nature.

when i have anxiety, i remember the reasons why i chose to do a task and i feel less anxious.

Plenty of people with schizophrenia go to college. The worst mistake I make sometimes is getting behind. But it was usually under my control whether I got behind or not. Does your school have any kind of disability services or anything? I’ve only been to three different colleges but they all had services and help for people who are disabled. They can be a big help with arranging accommodations like letting you take tests in a classroom by yourself so you don’t get stressed and distracted by other students.

Hi Nick,
Yes. My school does have a disability service. I should probably go talk to them if I feel I need it.

The nice things about my Bio class is that it’s mostly online. So hopefully I’ll be able to pace myself.

Thank you for the help and advice. :v:
