Hi Kayla_Marie2005; I posted this on the bp side, but I thought I'd post it here as well.

I have been out of school for a long time, but I can remember that same pattern during junior high, high school and University. I would do really well, then I would struggle, then I would do well again. I wish I had known I had bipolar, because I could have gotten some help.

It can be the nature of the illness with the lack of concentration etc. When I was hospitalized I couldn't even read the first week I was there.

I'm not sure if you are in high school or college, but I would suggest looking into whether your school has a school counselor office. I know you take your courses online, but most schools will have some sort of counselor etc. Ask for accommodations for your assignments. This illness at times can be very debilitating. This doesn't mean that you won't be able to graduate, but you may just need some extra time to complete assignments etc. I would also suggest speaking to your Psychiatrist about what you have been experiencing and a therapist. I hope that helps.
