I am a lawyer. Yeah, brain fog is an issue. I work for a corporation, and have been passed over for promotion for over 10 years. I have been a lawyer for 18 years, and still work at a junior level. All due to being seen as a scatterbrain, being inarticulate at times, forgetting major things. That said, I have not been fired and I make a respectable living. So while you may not feel sharp as a tack, you can still fulfill your goals of finishing school.

I think the best way to cope is with a day planner. My preference is a paper one. I collect pens and love to write. I think an electronic calendar might work too, but it seems actually writing by hand helps get things into my memory more than typing.

Just don't get too down on yourself. Remember, you have a psychiatric disability. But, you can still persevere.
