university problems with bipolar type two
I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type II a month ago, and I guess this whole season is the worst time period I have been going through. I am a third-year university student, and I have been skipping classes like crazy this year. The first semester was okay; I managed to pass the exams thanks to a month-long hypomanic episode. As for the second one... I barely attended classes due to a depressive episode that has been lasting for four months. My therapist is working on the right dose of latuda for me (I have an awful allergy to lamictal, unfortunately), and I am struggling with daily mood swings, as if my episodes have shrunk and scattered over days. I am thinking of postponing my exams until next year. Has anyone gone through such experience? I would love to know what you have done in situations like this. Also, I would like to apologize for possible mistakes, since English isn't my first language.
