Balancing College and Mental Illness: Looking for Friends

Hello!! I’m a 23 year old college student who’s balancing two jobs. I’m a medical laboratory science major and I’m obsessed with science and math. I’m looking for friends who can relate to the ups and downs that come with having multiple mental illnesses. It’s really hard for me to make friends at school because I’m behind a couple of years.

While in college I definitely felt like I could only focus on school and making friends was difficult. I suggest doing maybe one thing out of your comfort zone and take it from there. I find that making small goals makes me feel better and that I feel more accomplished.

I'm 23, not a student but definitely deal with the ups and downs in my own lifestyle. I'm not very good at friendships, either, more of an absent friend, but I'm here to meet people and learn anything more I can!
