We've not only got people here that have gone to college but at least one who teaches. Im sure they will share their stories with you. Good luck

For me shool finals will start soon and after that I will also go to college. Yes, every now and then my PTSD makes it difficult to focus and learn. Yes, it does affect my grades. But never so much that I would fail anything. I just need to take advantage of the times I can learn, prioritise, and use my energy efficiently, I could probably be better without PTSD and all the issues that come with it, but I'm dealing and so far I'm still pretty good. I've had PTSD almost my entire life, so by now I'm used to handling it. I only need to watch out that I don't overdo things (I'm prone to doing that).

I hope I could help you a bit. Just try and see how it goes, I'm sure you'll be fine. Wish you the best for it.

Never tried to go back after dx, two years ago (almost 3), but I got through college during the immediate post-rape trauma time, and the first time ever away from abusive family.... And to be honest, the PTSD may be a barrier in some ways, but in others I suspect you'll find you bring a different perspective to it, and that itself is valuable.
I don't remember life pre-trauma, but I do know that even with all that, I did well in life professionally, and so have many others here. We have people who are currently going back to school, teach, and more, so they'll have better advice, but just know that even *trying* is a huge success, okay?

Good morning. I am finishing up my third year at my community college. I am older so knowing that I am going after three degrees to do art therapy with children who need an outlet.
Some of the basic classes you will take I have had and yes they can shake you, but so far, have not stopped me. Since I am mostly self taught in art I also mixed in art classes toward that degree and used those to temper my anxiety of other classes.
If you are DX'd go to the office of disability support and see what they can offer, even if it is only a letter for professors. I was allowed to record lectures if my PTSD was tripping and listen later when I was alone. Yes sometimes I had to leave the room, not often in three years, but my prof's understood and it was only to breath and gather myself...I always came back. Grades are fairly good, but I work on them real hard and take a lot of notes. I am too old to have to take the same class again.
Just like trauma we learn in different ways..what we see, tactile what we touch and discussions with others of what we perceive..all these put information in our brain by different routes.My doodles in my notebooks can tell a whole story where my hands would have to have wrote two pages in notes.

Use what you have as skills any way that helps.
Psychology of Education I think I should have taken first year, Stress management, I did and has paid off many times...it may in a list of optional required credits under Humanities.

The support I get here is priceless.

Welcome and support to you.
