I suffered early on in life with major depressive episodes and then BP set-in. Tried to do school and was unsuccessful. It wasn't until I found the right combination of meds, which was the key and then in combination with DBT, that I learned how to function to where I could return to school with success. I cycle rapidly though and seasonally, so I have to keep a close eye on it. I am struggling now with a hypomanic phase but was mildly depressed last week. Have been in constant contact with the doc for med changes, to check in, and make sure it does not escalate further one way or the other. This is one way I deal with it keeping in touch with pdoc and T.

Depression plays tricks on the mind and the things it tells you are not always real. I have to decide that what I am consciously telling myself IS true and that I can help myself by putting one foot in front of the other. If that is all I can do today that is it. Then if I can do that, I'll try for something else, such as I'll make a call to the doc or T or read a page of my textbook or go over a page of notes. If I can, whatever happens from there happens; if not, I just couldn't do that then. Try for one thing in the next moment, make it a small task (so easier to do), if it happens, fantastic!; if not, you'll try something else in the next moment, and go from there.

Are you seeing someone now, T and /or pdoc or school counselor? That you can contact to tell them what is going on? Are you currently on any meds? If so, perhaps they just need to be adjusted or changed, talk to your provider to help you through this. You don't have to go it alone, there is help and just have to ask. Just take things one moment at a time and hang in there. Am thinking about in the meantime. Sending a very big hug.
