Well I have been attending online college for about 2 months now and loving the heck out of it. Only problem is I have plenty of time on my hands and am way ahead of my classwork.

Studying Criminal justice but tested out of the boring stuff like algebra.

Anyone else going to school?

I tried it during a manic episode about 8 years ago. I was going for a BA in electrical engineering and soon realized I was way over my head...........never finished, $5000 down the drain.

Great for you and stay with it.!

I am going to college online. When it is great everything works well and it is challenging. When I am very depressed, it is not great and I feel like it might do me in. Sometimes I can take a leave of absence to get my meds straight, and sometimes I can't. I also have a repetitive virus that complicates things. So far, after 2 years, I have a B average. Right now in the class about to end, I have a 69 average. Gotta haul butt to catch up or my B will go bye-bye.

You could try taking an extra class to keep you busy. Right now I am struggling with one at a time.
