Im on my cell and it's kind of a pain to quote and delete a bunch of stuff but I'll answer a few questions.

My current med cocktail is the best I've been on but still had moments of depression and hypomania. However the hypomania was caused by stimulants but when I got off them, I felt a lot more stable.

I suppose you can live a "normal" life if you're on the right meds and taking care of yourself with therapy and full compliance.

When it comes to jobs and school, take care of yourself and follow good sleep hygiene. My last job, I worked ten hour shifts with no breaks and slept little. I became unstable and lost my job. It's very important that you find ways to manage stress.

I would say to take school slow until you find the right meds and are stable. Don't make any career decisions just yet.

Be careful of antidepressants because they can make you hypo/manic very easily. Wellbutrin made me dysphoric but I had good luck on lexapro (but horrible sexual dysfunction so I stopped taking it. I rather be depressed than unable to have sex lol)
