If I'm still stable and have paid off a fair amount of my undergrad loans in 5-10 years I'm planning on going to grad school. I don't need to do it for my career, I just enjoy learning and feel like I missed out on my undergrad because I was so sick through the majority of it. But it's unknown if the pressures of college are what made my illness so bad these past 5 years, or if it was just the hormonal shift young woman go through, or what, because from senior year of high school to sophomore year of college I was completely stable, no meds, no therapy. So of course I'm a bit concerned about going back to academia, even thinking that far ahead. I was just wondering if some of you could tell me your stories of dealing with mental illness in grad school, to give me some idea of what I'm up against.
