Hi to all,

I am almost completed with college. It has been a very long road (7 years for a two year associate degree) just doing classes here and there. I will admit that there have been times that my Bipolar has affected my schooling to where I had missed class, slacked on assignments, and just withdrew from semesters. Out of 64 credits to earn my degree, I have only 7 credit hours left to complete which equals 3 different courses to complete. Everything was fine up till I lost my internship job. I have since fell back into my old routine of 'not caring' and barely making it through the two courses I have left. I have since dropped the internship of 3 credit hours. My husband fully supports me as well as he can. But, there are times (quite a bit) that I just need that urge of motivation to continue on. It would be a welcome feeling to know others have been in my shoes as well and I also welcome any thoughts that would inspire me to stay on track. Sometimes telling myself "You can do this', just isn't enough. Hugs to all!

PS, how well does everyone cope with having a job? I could use encouragement there too. I get very overwhelmed and experience agoraphobia at times when I am employed.
