Meds are vital in getting yourself enough space from your feelings to see clearly imo. Can you re-start them easily enough? If it seems too much get help, put your safety first please! Maybe a quick trip to the doctor today would be wise? All the very best in your struggle.

thanks and i will probably try to start them back up tomorrow and hope for the best. they always seem to help more than taking nothing, but its just a lot to convince myself they are worth taking.

I got through school with the help of meds at age 67 I received my master's degree. Good luck to you and follow doctor's advice.

I couldn't function without my medication.... We have a disorder that's chronic and needs treatment.... Working with the BP as opposed to against it might be a wonderful gift for you mljn...... Big hug.....xo

thanks everybody. i know the pills help but they are 'tough to swallow' haha. i guess taking them is better than fighting against it.

Breathe. One step and one day at a time. Have you considered lightening your course load or taking a semester off?’

I’m sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with school. This can be quite challenging! Is there something specific with school that is causing your stress? Have you talked with your guidance counselor? They may be able to help you find some balance in your studies. I also think it might be helpful to visit your doctor and tell him what exactly is going on in your life. He can help you sort through your feelings Do you have any hobbies that you enjoy doing? How about friends and family? It’s good to have a support system especially when facing difficulties in life. I do hope you find some peace!

im hoping to not take any time off from school as it often keeps me focused and motivated to stay alive. although lately its been doing the opposite. its mostly just the work thats been stressing me out, i unfortunately have high expectations for myself. I usually avoid talking to my advisor, but maybe ill give that a try. I dont actually have any hobbies....but i do like spending time with my family and my boyfriend. thanks again everybody for the support. means a lot.

I think talking to your adviser is a great idea..... If you need to lighten your load I would.... I would try your best to be realistic .... Having high anxiety and stress is miserable.... If you have a load that's more comfortable you might not have to deal with that and enjoy your school years much more

None of us want to have this but we do ..... We can live a good and pretty healthy life when we deal with the disorder effectively....... Gentle hug.... I hope that you feel better soon.....xo

Perhaps you should meet with your Pdoc and get back on the meds. It's not really a great thing to stop your meds during the stressful times in your life. Hopefully you can get back on track soon and things will calm down for you.

Take care,
