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!

As far as I know we do not have one. We have something for special needs, but I don't really know what is involved with that. I didn't question it until recently because I didn't actually realize how much damage my emotions/bipolar could do in my life until a few months ago.
Sometimes I don't know how I don't get hospitalized. I think it is because I keep a lot of it inside and just keep struggling until some sort of light comes, but I have had pretty scary moments where I considered driving myself somewhere or having a friend drive me. I just didn't want to interrupt my studies.
I am starting Therapy again next week. I was suppose to today, but my therapist got sick. I haven't had it in close to 2 months now, cut back at school with the stressors and everything I really need it.
