Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I decided to go back to school. I am going to Penn Foster Career School to get my diploma in Medical Office Assistant. I wonder am I making the right decision to go back to school due to my depression. I hope it doesn't stress me out. I'm not doing anything with the degree I have now. I am thinking that maybe I will have more opportunity in the medical field. Any advice?
I wish you all the best of like. I'm here if you need me.
I loved the classes, was not the best student because of the depression, and was often scared to pieces wondering if I could keep up.
BUT GUESS WHAT, I school, and the challenges it offered, as much credit in restoring my cognitive function as therapy and medication. And I do some decorative arts work on the side, while awaiting full time employment......and believe it or not, I am considered a fairly good faux finisher in this city! So, ya never know.
SO GO FOR IT BUT MAKE SURE TO RELEASE ANY UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS OF YOURSELF, given your depression. Just get through it the best you can and try to relax and enjoy. It is something that you are giving yourself and NO ONE can take education away from you.
Have fun!!!!!!!!!!!!
