I'm having a really difficult time focusing on anything. When I say difficult, I mean that I'll start reading for school and my brain shuts off after the first paragraph. I don't know what's going on, why I can't read or write or string thoughts together, but my brain feels very dysfunctional and disorganized and it's really frustrating. Is this typical of Bipolar Disorder? Does anyone have any advice?
This problem is really abnormal for me and has really just gotten bad over the last couple of months. I've always been a straight A student and I've won national awards for my writing. And yet this semester I can barely keep my grades up to a C. I don't know what to do about this

Please help!
