This is all new for me. Just had to make the decision to take off from school and work. Not really sure what my future holds but know I will get better and this forum helps.
@Dexter_Dixon, Hello and welcome! Do you have a mental health diagnosis? What kind of work did you do? What were you studying? Why did you feel you had to take time off from work and school?
Its hard to have to stop everything for a while but I’ve been through the same thing. Its hard at first but it’s good to take breaks.
I’m glad I took a break cause now I’m doing much better. Hopefully your break helps you too!
Hey Skinny, a lot has happened the past couple weeks and had to admit a lot of tough things (this website and the forum post have helped tremendously and I’m just now getting involved) to myself but its helped and I’m opening up more and feel I have a made the right decision. Yes, I have a mental health diagnosis and a host of physical health diagnosis, but currently checked into hospital and since have been keeping stress levels low which help to keep major symptoms of my mind under control. I study computer science now (just recently change majors because of all this) and for work I help with spreading technology and robotics knowledge to underprivaled communities. Not sure about pretty much anything yet with what the future holds, but as for now I know I made the right decision, wish I could’ve made it sooner.
Dexter
Welcome. I’m fairly new here also. Got my psychosis diagnosis about a year ago. I’m just now learning how to open up about illness and this site has helped a lot. It’s been quite a ride to say the least. From what I can tell so far everybody here is supportive and open about there struggles and the moderators are cool to.
