Due to BP I was only able to sit one unit at university, Literature and Social Change, while I also did some part-time work. During this semester I had a depressive episode that lasted about 2 months(started just before semester). I was ok for about a month then was hit with bad PTSD that led into mania. It was at the beginning of this episode that I sat my exam. God know how I actually managed that but today I got my grades.,
I got 83% in both the exam and unit in total. I was so surprised. Sure, I had studied hard while well but in that last epidote I was near delusional by the time I sat the exam. Seems i had just enough rationality left in me. Not bragging, just so happy and surprised. I mean, technically I should be pulling this off for all four units but this is the best I can do with my illnesses.

Awesome job! When I was severely depressed I only managed a 79.3. Seven tenths of a point away from passing! Had to take the whole class over again. At least I passed this semester with a 95. But that's only bc I'm stable. An 83 while unstable is amazing!

Here you only need 50% to pass, 50-60% are a 'pass', 60-70% a 'credit', 70-80% a 'distinction' and above 80% a 'high-distinction'.

Congrats! School + BP is rough (understatement). I'm working on my PhD and it's a miracle that I've manage to progress at all.

I know and it was mostly because my professor was a **** and wouldn't let me make up the discussion questions I missed while in the hospital. I don't think he really believed me when I said I was in the hospital without computer access because I didn't specifically explain it was a psych ward. He probably thought I was lying. He also graded my final project really harshly. I only got a 22 out of 40. So I failed it. And I just don't DO failing work. I think he was just being an asshole because he thought I was lying.

I had some bad professors too.
Trigger. In the old days hitting on students was the norm. I did something different though that was a great experience. A year in Mexico at the university there. Great experience.

That's great! During my worst mixed episode in undergrad, I got a 4.0 that semester. No idea how that happened. Sometimes we surprise ourselves with what we can accomplish despite our hardships.
