Well, to preface this, i am a seventeen year old student from the UK. I enrolled in a school i really liked for my A levels/BTEC but had to drop out because of untreated schizophrenia. I should of graduated this july and be off to uni in september if I had stayed.

I have a better grasp on my delusions, my hallucinations are getting better and I am less suicidal and impulsive, so dropping out and deciding on homeschooling was the better option for me, but when I think of what normal kids my age are doing I just feel sad. 

Even reading about stories surrounding schools or any one of those slice of life shows just makes me really sad and envious. I know it was a better choice for me, but I feel like I’m missing out on so much just because my brain is like this. 

Does anyone have any similar experience to this? Or any stories of people who went through it and succeeded?

Thank you very much for helping me
