I wanted to make sure I connected with you. I left the following message in the check-in thread but I think it got lost in the pages...

I’m so excited to find another high school teacher with BP! I teach Sociology and AP Human Geography. What do you teach?

I was off work for 10 days in the Spring due to being hospitalized for a manic episode. It was my first time. I’ve been able to teach since I got out and it was easier during the spring while I was still going through hypomania.... but it’s been a struggle this semester with depression... BUT I made it through and very proud of myself for being able to get everything done, teaching both virtual and in the classroom. AND a new subject this year that I am not very familiar with.... I keep telling myself that I can keep going. I have taught for 10 years. I don’t want to give up now and lose my retirement....

What about you? How long have you taught with BP. Does anyone at your school know you have it?

Also, do you know if any other teachers with BP?
