Hi, I'm new and I had a couple of questions. I'm 18 and about four months ago I was diagnosed with BP. I experience phases of severe depression and then times where I feel just ok. Other times I feel like i'm on top of the world. What is my goal to taking the medication? Because If the goal is for me to feel flat- mood wise and just ok. Whats the point? I want to feel normal.
When I get into these depressive episodes, focusing on my school work feels impossible. I've gone from getting A's on my college writing papers to failing. I feel like my life is falling apart. How do I learn to manage school?

Thanks,
Track girl
