Last semester I spent six weeks IP. It really effected my grades though I haven't go the final marks yet. It is so hard to study when manic, psychotic or depressed. I was all three at different points. It really gets me down that BP effects my grades so much. I wanted high marks but I guess I will have to accept average this time round. I even wonder if I will be able to work in a career at all with this illness but I intend to try.

By the way, I told my professors and had extra time on my exam which helped. It is worth letting them know as they can give special consideration when it comes to your marks.
