Has anyone here had a lot of trouble in college because of their bipolar disorder? I know I have. I have four incompletes on my record right now. I'm trying to get them done by the end of the year so I can graduate. And I have four classes right now, so that's eight classes to deal with. Healthy people probably couldn't accomplish this, but I keep telling myself I can.
I usually have one incomplete every semester and I forget assignments and turn everything in late. Sometimes I can't go to class because of my mood. Sometimes I get so manic I just ignore my work and assume it will do itself while I go off and have a good time. I used to be registered with the student disability office but since I haven't gotten a "proper" diagnosis (I don't have insurance, and so I can't afford to see a psychiatrist long enough to get a real diagnosis) they don't buy it.
Ugh, I'm never going to graduate. It pisses me off because I'm really intelligent -- I know I am because my professors really like me and are encouraging me to go to grad school, but my potential isn't reflected in my grades.

Before I was medicated, my grades were all over the place, mostly on the bad side. Once I properly stabilized, they've improved drastically. Now, I can't say about college, because I'm still in high school, but my high school campus is -very- similar to a college one, and we're considered one of the best college prep schools in the country, so I guess that counts for something, right?
