Yes, I have Bipolar I, and the agoraphobia tends to hit in fall, with the mania (or mixed) episodes, strangely enough. Last fall I failed a course (last spring I got a 4.00 though), this fall I have already missed a lot of lectures, and three exams. Two exams were actually because of psychotic episodes related to the bipolar mania, but of course I was too paranoid to go see a Psych at first (and thus get a ticket from a doc to retake the exam). The third was because I started back on antipsychs and was too somnolent. Thanks all for your positive thoughts though. I will keep trying so long as I am alive.
