I'm a uni student and I really want to study abroad next year for about six months or so. But I'm terrified that something will happen and I'll have a massive depressive episode or I'll go manic. I'm pretty stable right now but we all know how that loves to change! Plus going six months in a country where I only have semi-fluency, away from friends, family, and my therapist, makes me nervous. And I don't know if I can take a whole semester's worth of meds with me?
I plan on talking about it with my therapist. But, I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this or something similar? Hopefully a success story, lol!
