I am looking into returning to school after a long hiatus spent bouncing around an economically & existentially insufficient professional world. My mental health and cognition became a repeated theme/burden when trying to navigate a professional setting. It seemed like every time I felt like I gained ground in managing my mental health symptoms, I found new depths or facets to my own deficits which interfered with my duties. I want to go back to school to start a new path but am terrified of repeating the cycle of being betrayed by my own mind. I'm hoping to find better coping mechanisms if anyone would be open to discussion in the future.
