High School was tough for me due to raging moods, being suicidal often and slowly going out of control. Still, I managed to get good enough grades to get into university yet my grades in no way reflected my intelligence. At University things got worse and I struggled to pass some units. Half way through I dropped out due to what was thought to be depression. I just couldn’t cope anymore. Seventeen years later I got back into university and it has taken me five years to do 1.5 years of the course due to multiple hospitalisations. It is so frustrating but I intend to finish my degree this time. I’m doing it for me. Maybe I will be well enough to work full time and use the degree but I don’t really know right now.
