I'm glad she went to Therapy with you that's a great sign! Bipolar isn't the be all end all. I know it feels like it but you're doing wonderful getting D help now while she's still young. She doesn't risk kindling (if you believe in bipolar kindling). She can learn to work around her bipolar and still be successful. She can get accommodations to help her finish and succeed in school. I know genes feel like it's your fault but try not to fall into that. She has a name for her struggles now and a way to get help. Celebrate because now it gets easier. I know you were hoping she'd grow out of her issues but most people don't.
