I know I’ve said this multiple times but I can’t live like this working paycheck to paycheck at McDonalds. It’s just not feasible. I’m going back for physics part time while having a full time job. I’m very nervous about going back to school though.

A lot of math, I went to school initially for electrical engineering. Plenty of nights crying because I couldn’t figure out problems. A tutor back then was limited but now they have math and physic apps to help with homework. That’s a full load for a schizo full-time work and part time school just make sure you take one day a week for yourself. I found that out the hard way.

I plan on having one day off per week.
My knowledge on physics is good for a layman, but I need to learn the math.
I’m nervous but I love learning, especially on science. Studying will be no problem to me.

I had brain fog on clozapine and demanded a new med. That’s when I got Vraylar. No brain fog at all.

Darn it @PhotoGuy you can do it! Follow your dreams even if it takes awhile and even if you’re worried. It’s better than living with regrets over it. Best of luck!

Thank you for your confidence in me. 
I’ll try my best. I’m want to be a physicist but will take photos on my free time!
Nothing ventured nothing gained!

I will enjoy doing to school, I’m just afraid of failure which is unhealthy.

I hope the physics classes at community college have relativity and quantum mechanics classes. May have to wait until I go to a university.
I was so high in highschool that when I went to college I had to start in algebra 1 it took a few years before I was up to par in math
I smoked a lot of pot in high school too. Probably was one of the factors for developing schizophrenia. I may have to start algebra 1 in college too.

Any time Ive failed its felt like but never been the end of the world.
Words of wisdom. People like us over worry. I’ve been trying to control that lately.

What do you plan to do with a physics degree?

Whatever. Just anything that relates to physics. If that fails a physics degree opens up a lot of job opportunities including economics and engineering.
I just love physics and neuroscience, but I’m more knowledgeable in physics.
