[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 553636, member: 1514"] Stall...Welcome to the board. I want you to know that I read your post completely and it has me very worried. One of the things in it that you said is that you read a lot of our posts and you picked out that some of us had said that we wished we had had abortions.

I didnt know it as a child and young adult but I have been bipolar my whole life. It hasnt been easy. You do need to put college on hold for now. It isnt the most important thing in the world. You arent going to be a complete loser if you dont have college right now. What you need to do is work on yourself right now. Im sure your parents are worried about you.
