I have a case manager and she said it's best to take things step by step and with somethings, to wait for a full year of stabilization before heading into them (like school and work). Because you don't want to go back to work or school, and then right back into the hospital or unstable because you rushed into it. Even my mom tells me to slow down, and take things nice and easy. No need to rush. Take your time and you can get anything you want done. And you'll be glad you did it too, cuz you waited till the right time to do it.
