I'm starting grad school at Miami University in mid August for an MFA in Creative Writing and I'm silently freaking out. I was just released from my third stay in psych inpatient but I'm glad it gave me the clarity and new perspective to actually attempt grad school but I'm still super scared. I have diagnoses of severe recurrent psychotic depression, complex PTSD, Borderline Personality Disorder with avoidance traits, and I've dealt with social phobia and agoraphobia on and off. In addition to logistical things such as student insurance vs. medicaid, what big or little things did you do for your self each day to stay afloat. What sort of routine did you implement for yourself? Was anyone involved in specialty therapy and groups (ie. Schema, DBT, EMDR, EFT)? What advice would you give your younger self or anyone person?
