I was institutionalized for disorganized schizophrenia during my junior year of high school and my teachers worked around that pretty well. Though it was a private school and private owned institution. Was a straight A student with all AP's and Honors except my junior year. I blame myself for it, yes I can't help that I went schiz, but I still am of lesser use. Survival of the fittest. I couldn't keep up psychosis wise and I payed the price I deserved for it.
The rest of my highschool career and when I attended university I started with my OCD and BDD through refusing to let my skin be exposed. Didn't effect my schooling too much, and my schizophrenia has been in a latent state for a while now.
Bottom line, mental illness does effect people, no doubt, but you have to take responsibility for your shortcomings no matter what reason they're there. No excuses. I am a lower quality person because of my psychosis and my ticks.
what do you mean you're a "lower quality person"? you seem pretty cool and intelligent, you realised you had problems and overcome them. that must've been really hard to deal with
Oh I'm plenty cool and intelligent, but I am flawed in heavy amounts. Not a lot of overcoming has been done, I didn't overcome schizophrenia I medicated it and it happened to go dormant, I'll be sick with this disease till the day I die. I still cover my skin in thermal wear head to toe. And with these problems I struggle greatly, making me lower quality in many ways. I kick ass in my studies and could outrank my peers any day, but my brain gets messy, making me less of a scholar, and less efficient.
If I did not medicate, I would not survive or meet the requirements of success in today's world, I would fail, and I would deserve the failure.
Does mental illness count for anything
