Trust me I have Bipolar, PTSD, anxiety, Fibro and cfs and PsA etc etc

So I truly understands the struggle but sometimes we focus on all the ABC’s of why we may possible fail instead of just go DO ..

So what’s your first class ?? Make sure you leave with lots of extra time so if your hip or Fibro cause you to have to just stop and take a break and sit.

Does your university offer accommodations? Like giving extra time for turning in homework or maybe a quieter room to take a test in ? Usually Pdocs can fill out a form.

My daughter pre Bipolar diagnosis was able to buy a small recorder and all the students were allowed even encouraged to record the class. So along with notes she could re listen to the lecture.

I’m not being mean or dismissing how you feel or your fears , just maybe giving you an idea that you might not think of because your struggling.

So take a few deep breaths , gather your school supplies. Make a few dry runs before it starts .. see how long it will take you to get to classes.

Just go Do
Thanks. I know you’re not being mean or dismissive. They are good tips. I’ve been trying to prepare my mind and body for the extra load by studying some days (catching up on old material), and driving then walking a bit. I get discouraged because I crash too quickly. I have two days a week at university. Three hours each day of classes and 30 minutes drive each way. It will be tough. On top of that will be around another 12 hours of study a week. I will give it my best shot. Just having a bad week. Hopefully things will ease up soon.
