I'm brand new. 34 years old. Got diagnosed as bipolar 2 years ago. I hate it, it makes me feel like I'm crazy and different. More different than I already was because I'm also obese. I'm suffering right now from the depression part I think. I was doing so well two months ago and I don't know what happened. It was gradual though. I'm having trouble focusing. While I was doing well I made the decision to go back to school and I'm in the 2nd week of my first class and I want to do well and keep going. I also want to stop using my fmla at work. I can't afford to miss work. I don't know what to do. I see my therapist every week and my psychiatrist less than that.
