Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I'm not suicidal, I just want everything to stop. School is getting to be too much and I need some catch up time to breathe. My Mom keeps telling me about all of the things that she wants me to take care of, and I just cannot handle the stress. I want to curl up in a ball and give up for the foreseeable future.
I just got out of the hospital and there hasn't even been a moment to breathe. I got no recovery time. I just had to jump full speed back into my life and I can't. I just can't.
I don't want to go back to the hospital. I want to be able to handle my life. I'm so frustrated with myself and paralyzed by fear at the same time. I can't even cry. If I go to the hospital, it would be totally giving up on everything I've tried to do with school this semester, and yet, I'm so behind with school, it might not even matter. I dunno. I'm not dangerous to myself or others so I guess I don't need the hospital. What I need is a break.

I so wish I could get away for a couple of days. I have an exam in a little over a week that I am completely unprepared for, and I do not have the finances. Also, I think my anxiety is so bad that I would just sit and be stressed about not getting anything done. Thanks for the good idea though! I'm all about getting good ideas!
I want to fart
I want to drink
I want to shag.

1) Are you registered with disability services at your school? If not, register with them ASAP. They will guide you appropriately.
2) See if you can drop a course or two, this way you are not giving up, but lightening your load a bit.
3) Go talk to your pdoc and therapist and tell them about what you are experiencing. A good listening ear, always helps.
If you do these things, chances are good you will make it until the end of the semester. You are still early into your semester at this point.

Oh boy, I've got to take that advice myself. I'm completely fried; work and a who knows what's going to happen romance have sunk me into the blues. I'm taking next week off from work, but really want to call in sick tomorrow.
I also think that you'll benefit from taking a day. One day. Do whatever you want, but not school. Afterwards, you'll be a refreshed person who is ready to get through that test and the next few weeks until the Thanksgiving break. Good luck!
I am going to take tomorrow off and intentionally not stress about not being able to concentrate. Maybe, as you guys have suggested, it will make me feel better.
Thanks for the love and support. I'm failing at life right now and it means a lot that you guys take the time to reply.
