i have bipolar.. most of the time it has been okay, and im coping. but the last 6 months have been the worst..
i have type 2, where im more down than up.
last year finishing year 12 i just passed as i couldnt cope at all with the stress.. im now at uni.. and failing.. and stressed and just all over the place.
they know about my condition but if im failing they cant do too much which i understand. im not fussed about getting my diploma, im just doing it to please my parents. and now thats its taken such a toll on me i cant cope. ive tried talking to my mum but she doesnt get it...

Have you thought of talking with your doctor to reconsider your therapy?

I agree with MandMs. You need to report your difficulties to your doctor. A medication change may make a big difference for you. Some of what you are saying sounds like you are experiencing depression. That can be managed. A school counselor should be able to recommend a psychologist to you that you could see for therapy. I hope you will pursue this with your psychiatrist. Life can feel better with the right medication and therapy.
