Balancing College Life with Chronic Pain

Any suggestions for going through college with chronic pain/chronic illness? I've been having so much trouble balancing my social, academic, and personal life.

I ultimately started to do my work in little chunks, as well as doing online classes. Those two things combined helped quite a lot.

I would contact the disability office at your college so that you could get extra time on assignments and tests (or reschedule them) if you have flare ups. I would also explain the situation to your professors. Most really care and would make accommodations even without the disability office’s recommendations. Of course take things slower and be kind to yourself. You will get thought this!
