Thanks again, everyone. Sorry if any of this sounds a little harsh; I'm just angry. Not at you guys. At nothing.

It definitely can be done. I'm bipolar I and doing well in med school, and there are plenty of bipolar med students/physicians around (so I hear). It can be done!!!
Are you in med school yet? Where are you located? If you have any questions at all about med school or the application process, feel free to PM me any time. Having gone through the process myself, I know how stressful it is!!
