Just remember that it's going to get better sooner or later. I also reccomend to talk to your PDOC As soon as you can to see if you can get your meds tweaked......about school maybe you could ask for an extension on some of your homework??

All my sympathy sweetie. I know it's a drag to feel depressed especially when you have a load of homework. It just feels overwhelming. Try not to chastise yourself for it!! Don't be mean to yourself. Just take your meds and do the best you can. Hopefully they'll kick in and you can get something done. I'm rooting for you. Feel better soon. MEGS HUGS!!

as a professor i suggest that you seek out the counselor at your school and then talk to your instructors about getting extensions so that you can breathe a little. there's not point in sacrificing grades just to keep your BP a secret. hypomania is something i often miss too but i realize that i can be productive and creative without having the edge on and risk a crash. right now i'm in a productive space after coming out of weeks in which i really did a lot of sleeping or staying in bed. eventually it goes away so hang in there and get the accomodations you need to keep your grades up.

and yes, tell your pdoc what's going on so they can tweak meds or get you in to chat asap before it gets worse. catching depression early makes a huge difference in success of treatment

I can remember those days.

The thing is you said you have so so much to do. Try not to look at it that way. Just say I'm going to do this one bit for this one class and F the rest. Shake it off and say well I might as well do this other task since that one didn't take long and then I'll say F it. Take a chill how ever you chill with friends, mini-party or visit. Since you had all that fun you deserve to give as much time to studies. Before you know it you will have most of it done. If you don't finish it. F-it You might even be able to squeeze some more in.

Since you aren't in hypomania anymore-you work with what you have. Maybe it will jump on your back again when you are taking chunks out of the big picture of work.

Good Luck
