School

I've been relying on education to get me out of my hell hole. This term was really bad. My bipolar disorder was acting up and I had NO therapy. My GPA is 2.9 and it honestly makes me want to kill myself. This is not me and it's not fair that like I'm getting these grades because a mental disorder just fucks my life up. I have nothing to fallback on

I think she's still worrying about getting into regular college. She's a sophomore in high school. Which sucks, because the option to go part-time just isn't there for high school students, as much as it sometimes needs to be!

To the OP: A 2.9 is a great sight better than a lot of the kids I went to school with. You still have next semester and then all of next year to really step it up and show them what you've got. Good luck!

Is there any counseling or tutoring available

Are there any student services at your school? Are you in treatment? Do your parents have insurance and have you one their plan? It sounds like you just need some good solid guidance and counseling. Best of luck.

You and I are in similar boats right now. I'm a second semester senior, and fall semester was my worst ever. I totally lost control for weeks at a time, and my grades are going to show it. I really wish bipolar counted as a learning disability or something, because school doesn't really cater to it at all. I'm smart, but this semester isn't proof. :/

I don't know how to help you. I can't think of any advice. But I do want you to know you aren't alone. Good luck. :)
