That sucks, SP. I'm sorry. I've never heard of anything like that before. As for going back to school, I'd love to. Going to college was one of the best time in my life until I went psychotic. I loved to get up and get to classes. Now I have to get to work at 9am and it's such a pain in my arse. I want to drink in the morning just to relax. Ugh I hate my job so much. It could be worse though... I need a way out of this job, going back to school would be so f'n expensive.
Thanks for this!

Obviously i would be getting financial aid for this (if it goes through and everything is alright). Its 500 or so per class here at this place (out of state tuit).

Yea ill need a secondary degree for the workforce. But i have a feeling my dad really wants me to get an education, in something i love, anything he said that i want. And he said i could minor in something or get a second degree to bring in income. So while i dont have the money technically for this, im HOPING FAFSA pays. So this philosophy degree is, 1, what my passion is, and 2, so my dad sees that i have gotten a full education in at least something, and something i love at that.

Hmmm... then I should get a 70 cent raise. I quit my old job because wages were stagnant there and hours were better. I really regret quitting now because this place is crazier hours and I'm beginning to think there is a cap.

Even the community college im attending now is 400 per class.

Yeah for me fasfa will only give loans because I already have a bachelors.....so I have to pay $$$. Keep that in mind if you get a philosophy bachelors before your technical degree, then you'll have to pay for the other.

Id rather pay for the technical degree because i can do that at the community college and itll be cheaper. Maybe then i can go back to the local community college, as they have kicked me out temporarily due to academics. (I was psychotic when i went there after immediately after HS, so i failed a lot of courses being in and out of hospitals. Long story short i tried to use disability services and they had a deadline to get the psychiatrists letter in to say i needed it: required. Missed the deadline due to having an incompetent pdoc. He kept telling me hed send the letter. Never did. So i they didnt recognize my disability.)

Every 3 months here but you need to either ask for it or they don't bother with giving u a raise

i was thinking you could get both through fasfa if you picked up an associates first but you may have a better idea, best to finish a technical degree as close to hiring time as possible you don't want to forget everything.

Seeing myself talk on snapchat and stuff, i dont think im a good speaker. Its really embarrassing. I say "um" a lot and pause for long periods of time. Its like my brain wont connect fast enough. Its weird because i can read really fast and my internal speech is fluid. Along with my formal writing is impressive most times.

But my speech is horrible. Its sooo embarrassing.

I had the hardest time with the middle of the day dose. I only just a couple months ago got into the habit of taking them.
Now if I could remember to take the Latuda I'd be all set.
