I was a straight A student in high school, everybody came to me with homework help. I was a star. I had high hopes of getting into a good college and being a veterinarian. When I was 17, I started getting hit with bipolar disorder and by 18 I had dropped out of school. I am 21 now and can't even hold down a job. It's hard to understand how such a debilitation disease can change your life forever. I am starting to have no hope. I want to go back to a community college but I don't think I could even finish that. Has anyone had the same experience?
