I use to do very well in school. I used my mania to help me figure out things and work super hard. I was gambling with myself though with my moods and all. I'm still scared for my grades Junior and Senior year my mental illness too command and dominated everything. When I was hospitalized school was out the window. Now I don't have so much mania or hypo mania and my medication took away a lot of my cognitive ability. But, I got into college and plan on attending Uni next fall.

A lot of teachers don't have the ability or training to help with some metal health situations but they sure do more then an average person. Take a risk, but be okay for it to fail or not be what is expected.

My lit teacher is my biggest advocate ever and won't let me give up =)
Best,
Lilly
