I remember that in 2021 I was very excited at starting college of Computer Science. Even though it was online at that time because of the pandemic, I really enjoyed programming and I could stay for hours on the computer coding and solving problems. I even became vice-president of a Junior company and I won a prize of a programming competition.
A year later, I went to a retreat at the Junior company and then I had a psychotic crisis. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was hospitalized at a clinic for two months. Then it was difficult to concentrate on the subjects and failed many times on the subjects because I lacked motivation and thought that it was difficult for me, something I didn't have before.
In 2024, I still have those problems. Sometimes I want to change courses to something more "easy", like History, Literature course or Philosophy. But I feel afraid that most of the people who make those courses become teachers or researchers, something that is badly paid in Brazil, where I live.
I just restarted to study Coding and Math last Monday, a month and half after the beginning of the semester because of these doubts. I miss the times that I was really interested in those subjects.
What should I do?
