As my life goes on, I find it harder and harder to focus on anything but that which I'm intensely interested in. At this point getting school work done takes forever, I end up not doing most assignments and hand it half of the rest really late. I can't even focus enough to read a magazine article, or a comic strip. I don't know what it is, whether I am distracted by my racing thoughts or out-of-control emotions or what.

Does anyone else experience this? Its gotten so ridiculous and makes it so hard to get by. I was diagnosed with bipolar II. Is this a problem that bipolar can come with, or is it something else? Its driving me crazy and putting my education in jeopardy...
