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.
Hi all,
Someone suggested to post on the general discussion instead of the subcategories so here I am!
I've been struggling with my depression for over a month now. What I think caused it is my school stress. I feel so overwhelmed that I just end up blowing off my school work or skipping class sometimes. I talked to a counselor and he suggested I take a load off by withdrawing from a class. I think that is a reasonable idea but I don't want to delay my graduation, which is coming up. I keep dreaming about school and all the stuff I have to do but don't have the energy to actually do them. When I am not forced to get up for a meeting or work, I sleep for at least 12 hours. I end up feeling guilty and mad at myself for being so lazy. Can anyone relate to this?
I just joined this site yesterday and would like some support and advice please. Thanks guys!

Happy Tuesday. I only have a few tasks today. I'm currently enjoying my coffee and checking social media and emails. It's gonna be almost 90 degrees today so I have to monitor the dogs outside activities How's Tuesday looking for you?
I'm in school and I'm depressed right now and it affects my school Work. I have no motivation to study. I don't know why I'm depressed , it just seemed to come on. I hope my meds aren't stopping to work. Dr put me on lamictal to help. So far notheing, but we'll see how it works out.
Being depressed and sleeping a lot does not make you lazy, it only makes you depressed.
I think the advice to drop a class is a good one. That would ease off the stress and instead of keeping you from graduating it could guarantee that you will graduate even if on an extended schedule.
I only went to college one year due to stress. Choose the way to success that's right for you. You're among friends here.
