I'm considering dropping out of college. I'll graduate in 2 months, but it's all too stressful for me. I have a mental disorder (bipolar) and I have NO help here. The options my school gives me for mental help are bullshit. This morning I found myself acting like I had lost my mind. I threw a glass across the room, started hitting myself and ripping out my hair, and came really close to slitting my wrists. But I only have 2 months left. I don't know if I can deal with the shame and embarrassment of being a failure and quitting. That's really the only reason why I'm still here. These 2 months are going to be the most difficult as well. We're working on our final portfolios, and everything we make is going to be judged at an assembly-type ordeal. My heart isn't in it anymore, but I don't think I should quit. I don't think I should be here either. I don't know. I just need some help. I am so lost right now.

With 2 months to go, I think you'll be able to make i, now I haven't studied bipolar disorder as much as I've wanted to (That will be my next topic after reading this book) but from what I know you periods of up and down, now I don't know how long your periods (not talking about the painful bloating one) last, but with 2 months left, you'll probably have another up, so just try to make it through talk to family and friends alot just to keep you sane

I don't think I can make it. Tomorrow I'm going to talk to the school and see what the whole dropping out process is. I can't handle the pain anymore. I keep praying that god will kill me so I won't have to make the choice. Yesterday I was waiting for my mother to leave the room so that I could slit my wrists. She never left the room though. I'm not right. I don't need a ******** degree in psychology to figure that out. There's something seriously wrong with me. My mom won't even let me drive because I was thinking about driving head-on to a semi-truck.

I really hope everything goes well for you.

I'm in my last year at university and my life is falling apart as well. I don't have the option for dropping out, though, and I don't think it's gotten quite as bad for me. But I know if I don't drop out, I'm not going to make it. My life is too wrapped around school. I can't focus, can't think about it. Haven't gone to classes, haven't tried to think about it. If I dream about school, I wake up screaming and thrashing, and my room's usually broken and chaotic by the time I completely wake up.

My moods have shifted a lot and now I feel happy and stuff...so I'm not going to drop out. Well, I'm not exactly happy but I'm not really suicidal either. I don't know.
