My bipolar was in remission or at least manageable when I was in college so I was able to finish without any problem. The only time I almost lost it was right after my son was born. The sleep deprivation wreaked complete havoc on me. At the time I didn't believe I had bipolar so I was untreated and I definitely had a couple of bad breakdowns but I somehow managed to get past them and finish my student teaching.

I have to go back to school for my special ed certification in the fall and I'm upset by that because I'm so unstable right now I have no idea how I'm going to manage. But it's that or lose my job.
