[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 362203"] I am so sorry. A few simple, but powerful thoughts 1. Keep your "eye on the prize" 2. Set and keep boundaries...this includes those with- relatives. 3. If necessary, cut back on your school and/or work hours. Talk to those in charge. Chances are very good, that you can make up for a class, etc. Let this be a temporary thing for the purposes of re-grouping only. 4. Find out and remember who your real friends are. Ask them for morale support. 5. If at all possible, reach out and get some 'real' help during very difficult times (like now). It might be a friend to cook a meal during a final exam, for example. 6. If at all possible, keep in mind people who might be able to do small tasks in a pinch for a reasonable rate. For example, type up a paper when you are overwhelmed. 7. Try your best, but remember that grades are not the "end all." 8. LIke the others said: Don't give up. (see thought #1). 9. Keep on top of your medical appointments and if you are not doing so already, please consider therapy to help with- the stress (and BiPolar (BP) diagnosis, etc.). Sending good thoughts... As a side note: I've been through something similar recently...knock on wood/crossing myself....coming to a happy ending. These were some of the things I did and found to be helpful. [/QUOTE]
