I have my BA in psychology from a long time ago. Before I got sick. Then I decided that being a therapist wasn't going to work with my illnesses after all. Now I want to go back to get my MA to teach, probably in child development. I'm scared. I was very sick before while in college, and I am not doing so well now. I don't know what to do.

I don't know how long ago you were in school, but you might find it beneficial to see if the college you want to attend has a center for students with disabilities. All you would need to do is have your doctor fill out some forms and write a letter and depending on your disability, take a test (thtas mostly for learning disabilities and ADD I think). After that you could get tons of accomodations like extra time for tests, test in your own room, extensions, breaks in the middle of class if you need them, notetakers (the best one in my opinion), and others if you need it. It really takes a lot of the stress out of school so you can manage your illness. If you're thinking about going back to school, this would be a great help. Good Luck!
