Mental Illness and School Ugh I am so frustrated. I'm really trying to not beat myself up over this, but I am 2 classes away from graduating on time with my friends April 2020. I had to reduce my workload because I was on the verge of suicide while studying and working at the same time. I even quit my job during school, which added financial strain. All to be able to maintain my mental illness. So now I have to take another semester in the fall of 2020 and graduate in 2021. I'm still meeting my goal at least to get my BBA, so that's an achievement I suppose. Trying to be positive.
