Hi Roses_191,

I’m really sorry you're feeling this way right now. It’s tough when you’re doing your best but still feeling like you can’t get it right, and that frustration is completely understandable.

When things are overwhelming, like trying to follow GPS, try breaking it down into smaller steps. Maybe you could practice reading the GPS at home before you leave or check out directions online the night before. That way, it’s less pressure when you’re actually out there.

You're dealing with a lot, and it’s okay to be frustrated, but don’t beat yourself up about it. Everyone messes up, and that's just part of being human. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about learning from those moments. Please give yourself some grace.

If you're feeling unsure about your independence, maybe start by setting a small goal each week, like taking a different bus route or going to a new store by yourself. The more you practice, the more comfortable you’ll get. It doesn't have to be perfect, just an improvement.

If your family isn’t understanding, that can be really painful, but their words don’t define who you are or what you're capable of. When you're feeling blamed or criticized, it’s easy to get trapped in sadness or anger, and that can impact your ability to retain information. So it may not be that your memory is lacking, but that you need some time to process those negative emotions.

In the future, you could also consider reaching out to a counselor for support. Would you consider trying Beyond Blue's phone and online counseling services? It could be a great option to talk to someone who can help you work through everything and offer support.

You are not alone:)

Warm regards🤗

I am getting kicked out of year 12! My school is discriminating me because of my psychosis! ☹️

Roses_191 — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 09:43:24 GMT

Hi guys i am crying right now because i am very upset about my school kicking me out when I jabe psychosis. I have gotten an A in my maths assignment and I am getting the help I need at school but my school says that if they give me a certificate, and if they help me, when i go to a job I wont be able to do the work as the school got me through it and if the boss sees me as a bad employee they're gonna ask where I got qualified from and if I say where I got qualified from, the school is going to have a bad reputation and it will be looked down on. They think I am getting to much help and think that they are the reason for my succsess which is not on. I need assistance as I understand things slowly. Please help! Kind words or advice will be much appreciated!! 😊

That is so unfair and heartbreaking to read. You got an A in your maths assignment which was your achievement! The support you received helped you access your potential.

What they’re doing sounds like discrimination to me. under the Disability Discrimination Act, educational institutions are legally required to provide reasonable adjustments to students with disabilities, including mental health conditions. They cannot penalise you or push you out for needing and receiving that support.

Please ask your parents or an advocate to reach out on your behalf to the Australian Human Rights Commission or a disability advocacy service in your state. they can help you understand your rights and what options you have. You earned that A. Don’t let anyone take that from you.

Hi Roses_191

I'm wondering who taught you skills when it comes to gradually gaining your independence. While a parent could say to us 'You have no skills. You're hopeless' or 'You're brain dead', I would question that parent with something along the lines of 'How much time have you spent seriously teaching me a whole variety of skills that would benefit me?'. There's some skill to just about everything in life. For example, we didn't always know how to go to the toilet on our own. We didn't always know how to write or read. We didn't always know how to do a whole stack of other things we eventually gained some skill in. I didn't always know how to work a GPS until my daughter taught me (I still struggle at times😁). Btw, when I do struggle, my brain kinda shuts down and says 'Nup, I'm not doing this'. My daughter also taught me the skill involved in using a MYKI card. She's given me skills in many other things, just like my son has too. I think it can also depend a lot on the kind of teachers of skills we have in our life. If someone's no good at teaching us, we'll struggle to gain or develop the skill.

Some people in our life fail to realise what we're incredibly skillful in or naturally skillful in. Often this can involve them not seeing the value in our skillful or super natural ability. I can't help but wonder whether you have a truly stunning imagination or you're someone who has the ability to sense other people's feelings. I can't help but wonder what you're a natural at. I also can't help but wonder what leads others to believe you're demonically possessed. I imagine they're all jumping to the wrong conclusion as opposed to wondering about a whole variety of possibilities as to why you're struggling so much with certain things. I've found that wonderful people (full of wonder) are far more helpful than those who just love jumping to the wrong conclusions🙂

Dear Roses_191,

I can really feel for you after reading your post.

I have been told by a mental health professional, that when we get stressed and overwhelmed, one of the first things to be impacted is our cognitive functioning in our brains. Memory, concentration and processing of everything gets lowered. It isn’t an abnormal thing to happen to people.
However, if someone around you keeps saying something to you, after awhile we tend to listen to it and believe it. This isn’t your fault. You aren’t stupid. And if your system gets overwhelmed or overloaded, then all aspects of life can be affected mentally, emotionally and physically. I believe in you and your ability to do a lot more then you can currently see or acknowledge.

And I couldn’t help thinking as I read your post about the bus, why your mum was criticising you for not using the gps properly, when she didn’t use it herself? It isn’t tit for tat, however if she couldn’t use it either, then it isn’t fair to blame you when you were trying to help her. Anyone can research a new place they haven’t been to before they actually leave the house. It doesn’t have to be your sole responsibility.

Hoping you are feeling a bit better.

Thankyou!

I got bullied really agressively at school!

Roses_191 — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 05:33:52 GMT

At school today, my last name got called out by male teacher that usually helps me with math work, and I told him that my last name is pronounced in a certain way and he said "DONT ARGUE WITH ME!" 😡 He was really mad and I went into shock and then he asked me, "what subjects are you doing" I told him the subjects and then I said, "I wasn't trying to argue with you I was just telling you how to pronounce my last name" He replied with "I know you werent trying to" Then when he left I saw a lady come in and I told her that im going to have to make a complant and was struggling to tell her the situation as I was crying and it impacted my ability to talk. Then this lady took me to this lady that works with teenagers and I told her and I told her once I had calmed down. Then they said that I can talk to the head of the campus and I ended up calling her and we spoke on the phone. Who else can I tell this to, and what do you guys think of this? I will ring the department of education to make a complaint. Thankyou for reading 😊

Got bullied at school!

Roses_191 — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 03:23:41 GMT

Hi im reposting this again as i posted this situarion and it got moved to a discussion that has nothing to do with this.

Psychosis is the wrost! 😭

Roses_191 — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 07:35:40 GMT

Im just too idiotic with psychosis i hate it, i get called an idiot all the time and i keep making dumb mistakes, i get told im good for nothing and i feel like my efforts for study are never good enough and mum says that because i waged school god is taking away my eductation. Theres hope for change but having a disbility makes it harder to think, concentrate and be smart. I believe God will heal me but i still am too sick, i had to get antibiotics for my mum but i ended up getting something else at the chemist that my mum needed and when i came back mum told me that the antibiotics is what she really needed but because im dumb i didnt read the bar codes i just showed one of them thinking that was all i needed. Apparently instructions were given but i dont recall that happening. I've been called a retard, i am not employable and am likely getting kicked out of grade 12 but i am not sure yet. My history with education from the past makes me feel very sad about my myself, but ive been doing well as of now but because i waged school now theres proof that im lazy and am a very bad kid.

Hi Roses_191

I’m sorry that you were upset by your teacher’s reaction to you pointing out that he mispronounced your last name.

I agree it’s not good for a teacher to become so angry over such a comment.

But regarding complaining to the department of education, my advice would be to consider why you want to do this. What outcome are you looking for as a result?

If you are seeking an apology or explanation, the head of campus or school counsellor could mediate a discussion between the teacher and yourself. This could help you to feel more comfortable next time you’re in class.
If you are seeking something more—for example, disciplinary action to be taken against the teacher—you’ve already spoken to his “boss”, being the head of campus. Did she give you any indication of any action she could take as a result of your concern?

If you want to change classes, again the head of campus is your go to.

Kind thoughts to you

Hi Roses_191,

I've been in a situation a bit similar. I had psychosis when I was in college and I made so many mistakes then. Even in my 20's, I made many mistakes and I'll of course still make mistakes in the future since I'm human, but I think I've finally gotten a lot better when it comes to making choices. It's common to do things you regret when you're in your teens, especially if you have something like psychosis. I also have a disability that makes it hard for me to do those things and it's also making it hard for me to get a job-job. I only have a semi-job.

A lot of people waged in school, both in high school and college and they still were able to get jobs when they finished school so I wouldn't worry too much about that. It may not be the best idea to wag school, but it's actually not going to affect you much in the future. It's best not to do it/try to stop doing it though because you're missing out on things that school provides like education and some people who wag too often sometimes end up having to repeat a year. Even students who got suspended and/or expelled at the schools I went to were able to get jobs.

It's still possible to learn outside of school by looking through books or even looking through google or YouTube on how to do things. Even if they aren't the exact same things as the things you learn in school, it's still learning.

Waging school doesn't make you bad. It's better to wag school than to be mean to other students. I didn't wag school, but I said some really mean things about other students which hurt their feelings. I regret it a lot now. Waging could be considered a bit "naughty" or "silly", but it definitely doesn't make you bad. Besides, even older people do much worse things than that.

I know school is boring, but if you stop waging, you'll be less likely to be taken out of school. If you do end up being removed from school, you can still get jobs without a certificate, it's just better to have one, that's all.

I get called dumb, useless and the r word too, but everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

It's still early in the year so there's still plenty of school left. If you go to school regularly for the rest of this year, that shows a lot of effort. I can see why it would be tempting to wag, but the more you do it, the more you'll regret it in the future. If you keep going to school regularly, your future self will be glad that you did. It may seem like the end because of your past mistakes, but it's really not. You're still super young and you're school years don't affect your future as much as you would think, but it's still good to try to get the most out of school plus, it will make you feel better in the end if you get back into the swing of things. It will make you proud of yourself.

Can I ask if you see a therapist about your psychosis? It's important to get professional help for it. It makes a big difference.

Re: Psychosis is the wrost! 😭

Roses_191 — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 07:16:25 GMT

Hi thankyoy for replying, I am seeing cymhs and I have a doctor, speech therapist and a case manager. I also just want to say that I waged school a couple of years ago but I dont do it anymore and the reason that my school is trying to kick me out is because I need too much help, but i process things slowly. The schoop said that if they help me to do a certificate, when the boss sees me do badly at school, the person's going to ask where I got qualified from, and if i tell them they will look down on the school. They are discriminating me, but when I go to the meeting im going to fight for my education.

Re: Psychosis is the wrost! 😭

Earth Girl — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 07:38:38 GMT

I'm sorry that your school is trying to kick you out for that reason and I'm also really sorry that they are discriminating against you. I'm surprised they said that to you. It's very unprofessional and a bit insensitive of them.

I don't think your future boss would actually ask that, but even if they do, on your resume, you could write that you identify as a person with a disability, that way, if your boss is more understanding than your school, they should be able to see it through your point of view and know that you'd do your best at your job and be nice to the people there which in my opinion are the most important things for an employee to do.

It's strange to me that your school cares so much about their reputation that they would say that to you, especially since you have a disability. Can I ask if you go to a private school or something like that? Do you think you might like to go to a different school if you can?

I didn't do well in most of my classes, but I've never had a school tell me that they were worried that people would look down on the school because of me. They cared about my future and how I was doing emotionally. It's sad to me that some schools care more about their reputation than their student's well-being because the whole reason why we have schools is to help students.

Re: Psychosis is the wrost! 😭

Roses_191 — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 07:55:09 GMT

I agree with everything you said, the schools are meant to help, but the school dosen't want to. I go to a special school for people with people that have learning difficulties who have disadvangages like a hearing loss or people that have missed school.

Re: Psychosis is the wrost! 😭

Roses_191 — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 07:57:36 GMT

I was meant to say its a school where people with learning difficulties go who have disadvantages not for people with people

I just went through psychosis again!

Roses_191 — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 04:03:57 GMT

I just went through psychosis again! I thought all this time for the last seven weeks I had a two hour break between my classes, but it actually ended up being 3 hours! My mum says my brain is bullshitting! Anyways my mum says I have to be picked up and then dropped off during that time as I can't be left on my own because people with psychosis get brain malfunctions at any time and can't defend themselves because of it.

Re: I just went through psychosis again!

ViolettaZ — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 08:42:42 GMT

Hi roses,

It’s frustrating to have that period of time in between classes. Has your mental illness been formally diagnosed? Based on what you described, it sounds more like time blindness rather than the “brain malfunctions” your mother mentioned, and you didn’t describe any behavior that suggests you’re unable to protect yourself.

Your mum might be a bit overly strict or jumping to conclusions, but she may also be genuinely worried about your safety.

What do you think about the situation? Do you feel able to handle that time on your own, or do you think having someone check in on you during that time might actually help right now?

Warm regards🤗
