I would like to add my own way to go! I know personally how difficult it is to do school when going through the instability and the occasional (or not so occasional) hells of bipolar. I wont share my grades, but just say they were a little short of what I had hoped for. Still sometimes I can remind myself that to have achieved what I have in school amidst periods of ultra-rapid cycling (every few days) and suicidal ideation is an accomplishment. It's an accomplishment for you as well. I'm sure you will do great in your job and when you go back to school afterwards. It's wonderful that you have not let this illness get in the way of your life.

Take Care
