My first manic episode happened during my second semester of college. From there things declined pretty quickly. That was about ten years ago. I was diagnosed as bipolar in October, and since then I've been battling with whether or not I should even accept the diagnosis. I have officially accepted the diagnosis now, and I am getting started once again on medication and I intend to stay that way. Since my first episode I've gotten married, and have had children, but I still want a college experience. I know living in a dorm is absolutely NOT a possibility, but I was wondering if it would be silly for me to still want to go to a University, and maybe join a sorority and what not. It's something I've always wanted to do and I feel like I was cheated out of it.
