About my education...
My family doesn't have enough money to pay for an Individual Education Plan (IEP). I have a problem where my writing is nearly illegible. It has a name but I don't know what it is at the moment. I am quite embarrassed about it and is frustrating for teachers. If I want to use a computer to write in school I need a pricey IEP. This is the least of my problems! About 3 years ago I felt really down only sometimes but other times I was happy to the extreme. I had lots of energy, but I felt out of control and unable to stop my impulsive and socially unacceptable actions (yelling, blurting out nonsense, lack of respect for personal space). The rest of the time I felt down and was reserved/quiet. Then at the beginning of this year I was blue all the time. It was too much and I was unable to go to school. I was depressed at this point.
I got a sibling to bring home all of my school work. Being smart and capable, I got it all done. My mom talked to my teachers and principle about what they're going to do to help me. My principal told me to either come back to school like a normal kid with no enrichment/help, do home schooling, or drop out. I was really angry about him wanting to deny me help. I don't think I'm going back to school this September. I still have no idea how I'm learning when school starts.
A month and a half/ two months ago I started seeing my T. I don't feel any better yet. I don't think about suicide as much as I used. It's just... I don't feel the heavy sadness anymore. I feel either numb or angry with my parents or other adults I know(docter, T, principle, teacher, employer). I haven't felt that crazy out of control happy (if you could call it happy) mood since last fall (approximately). I don't know if that's good or bad. I'd like to feel like I used to, but then I don't remember a time when I was just content to talk to friends and happy with the world and myself. I wish this whole fight with the school never happened, I wish my life had one of those "reset from last working point" options like on computers.
In summary, it really was a war with the school. It isn't over but it is on hiatus. I don't have every little detail here, but I have the basics points. I want enrichment (like courses from the next grade up), help for my difficulties, and to be satisfied with my mental health. My principal was told to apologise by the superintendent, but I don't really forgive him for the problems he has caused.

Wow! Your Principal SUX!  So with the superintendent involved will you be able to get the support you want?
Also has any mental health worker suggested that you might have a bipolar diagnosis?
