Even if I get 12 hours sleep I wake up 'drunk'. This led me to have to cancel going to class this morning, even though it was a 12.30 pm start. It takes over half an hour each way to drive there and I just didn't feel safe doing this.
Anyway, with my mood tanking, and clearly struggling to get to class on Friday. On Tuesdays I only have a long drive there as I stay at my parents that night and they live ten minutes from university. Also it seems I may not be able to manage just two units. It is an embarrassment. That is only a quarter of a full-time load. I have just come out of the worst psychotic mixed episode I have ever had. Maybe I just need more time and space to recover? Maybe I should push through and find that I can cope with the load?
What do you guys think?

I just dropped out of uni, which was fine because it was a program to add to my master from last year. I figured the additional stress wasn't worth it.
I have to say this though. DO NOT drive if you feel off from your meds. I got arrested after an accident and told the police about my meds. I can't say if they caused it or not but the police seemed to think so. And if my meds did cause the accident? It just supports my point to NOT drive on your meds! I think Seroquel is a pretty bad one.
