Congratulations on your success. I have a B.S. in Microbiology and an M.S. in Cell & Molecular Biology. But I think the meds have messed up my mind now; it is hard to make those concepts click or believe I once wrote a first author publication for a scientific journal. However, I was mis-diagnosed with major depressive disorder and given antidepressants, which tend to send me into a manic state.

You CAN do it though. I actually graduated with my B.S. while going through most of college with anorexia (noticeable) and severe overexercise and the bipolar (treated as depression). I was very depressed and on meds in the end, and things clicked fine; even getting my Master's, things clicked for me. I think it was too many years on the wrong meds, and I didn't have medical insurance, so I had to use a free county treatment center that had me on 12 psych medications at once, I kid you not. THAT is what I think really messed me up.
