So I apparently have bipolar...
And I have found that my grades are rising and falling with my... mood swings. I have huge pressure from my family to get into uni, and before I started... year 9, I think, I was a straight A student. Term two, I got a D in maths. Thats the lowest mark you can get when you have actually submitted work. I've gone from what, 8 years of As to a D?? And now it's steadily following a stream of As to a stream of Bs and Cs. My family are threatening to send me away to bording school.

Do they know your diagnosis? Is it official? Are you seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist? Maybe they can help you to stay more stable and thus keep your grades from slipping. I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. I'm bipolar, but I wasn't diagnosed until I was in my forties and totally done with academics. We have plenty of support here for bipolars, so let us know what we can do to help.

Thankyou so much No, if my family knew I would be disowned rather quickly ANd so, consequently, my teachers don't know either. I have been to a few councelling seshions, but my guidence officer said that he would like to referr me to the hospital, in which case my parents would have to be notified. I never went back to him after that. Thankyou so much for replying, it seams like a very nice community here

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
