Going through University with schizophrenia

 




Face it school is hard and university even harder. Getting a hard time in university is hard without any problems. Imagine having a mental illness such as schizophrenia while having to get through university.

Here is some tip that can help you going through university with schizophrenia.

 Find support systems

As a student with schizophrenia back then, it was important to have a great support system going through university. The support system can be your family, your few close friends even one of the lecturers. I found it important to have a support system that can help you when things get rough or even when you have an anxiety attack in the university.

Find your way to focus more on the lecture

Back then, it was really hard for me to keep my focus because as a schizophrenic those voices or even things can easily distract me from my studies. Nowadays there are more tools to help students with schizophrenia such as writing gadget that can also record the lecture. I have my own way of keeping my focus such as writing down everything while the lecturer speaks. It helps me keep my focus.

Give yourself self-care by doing what you like

After finishing a semester don’t forget to give yourself a self-care by doing what you like such as traveling with your family or simply doing your hobbies. Trust me you’ve been great you need to reward yourself.

Simply just don’t give up

There are times when I have to finish my final assignment in order to graduate many things scare me. Most of the students that have mental illness in my uni usually only last four semesters. I went through a hard time even experiencing physical stress such as dandruff. I went through it by simply deciding not to give up and eventually, I managed to go through University.

You can participate by saying or sending a "Hello" message to at least 10 contacts or people you meet.

3 Reasons Why I Chose Amsterdam as the Setting for Double Minority Hanna

 As many of you may already know from reading my novel Double Minority Hanna , I previously shared the inspiration behind the story, which comes from personal experiences and my community. In this article, I want to delve into why I chose Amsterdam as the setting for Double Minority Hanna and how it plays a vital role in Hanna’s journey. 1. Mental Health Support and Recovery Environment in Amsterdam One of the key reasons I chose Amsterdam is its robust mental health support system and recovery-friendly environment. The city is home to communities, organizations, and a cultural attitude that promotes a positive outlook on mental illness. This is why Hanna, following her brother's suggestion, moves to Amsterdam. The environment contrasts sharply with that of Indonesia, where mental health stigma is prevalent and mental illness is often misunderstood as violence or weakness. In Amsterdam, Hanna finds fewer people willing to bully her, thanks to the city's more progressive stance...

  As you all know, I've recently begun a regular workout routine, starting with just 5 minutes of exercise each day. This is my update on how it's been going and the significant impact it has had on my mental health. For a long time, my doctor has advised me to exercise, but I have always found myself being lazy and putting it off. Exercise seemed like a daunting task, especially when struggling with the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. The idea of getting up and moving felt overwhelming, and I was skeptical about how much a simple workout could actually help. However, as time passed, I realized just how right my doctor was! Once I started working out, my mood improved significantly, and I felt much more stable. Remarkably, my symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia have diminished, even after my doctor reduced my nighttime medication from 400 to 300 milligrams. This reduction in medication was a milestone for me, and I believe that my commitment to physical activity played a cru...
