Has it ever been hard to go to school or work due to schizophrenia/affective?

Do they know about your dx?

Damn, that sucks. Is it due to grades? I’ve turned in my applications and paperwork before, but I’ve never made it past that. I always withdraw or cancel before school starts. I always end up getting sick, or dealing with family drama, or something of that nature.
I guess I’m in the planning stages. I’m looking at doing Coursera, Edx, Sanford Online (basic stuff), and coding websites. Eventually, I want to go back to school (maybe online) for math, computer engineering/science, or electrical engineering.
It’s a lot of money and risk too. I believe it’s worth getting an education. A lot of time needs to be allocated and sacrifices need to be made.
I feel the disability office/program is stressful in itself. I think it’s stupid how they drop your case if you’ve been absent more than a semester. All that paperwork and stress in order to have a level playing field. My last school I attended, didn’t even return my calls or answer my questions about disability (due to Aspergers/psychosis).
I’ve never felt such bias/discomfort than in the last city/county I’ve lived at (not the school, but the city/county itself). Is that typical of low income areas? I’ve done financial aid paperwork before and depending on where you live, the standards are different.

I never officially told them. The principal is the only one that knows I have a mental illness and a handful of teachers.
Might be worth letting them know so they don’t kick you out over it.
Yeah I understand that, I think I’m just dragging by to be honest. You should try Khan Academy and learn as much as you can and do the GED test.

Yeah I should, I need to speak up for myself.
