On my university campus we have a Disability Service that you can apply for with medical certificate(s) from your doctor(s).Once you have this you can apply for extensions through them and no one else needs to know what illness you have outside the Disability Service. I have used this a couple of times to get extensions and my lecturers were very understanding and gave me all the time I needed to finish my assignment or even sit my exam at a later date. Do you have a similar service on campus?

As for hating Bipolar, I am right there with you I am in my third hospitalisation in the lasy 12 months. This illness has robbed me so much but staying angry at it wan't help. I am slowly learning to accept it and adapt - it has taken over 18 months to even be able to that. Are you in therapy? That has helped me immensely.Hang in there!
