How was your experience in school/college? Did you struggle with anything? 

I grew up with severe anxiety and social phobia. I was frequently depressed but never medicated or had therapy or a diagnosis until I was an adult.

I always struggled with meeting deadlines, procrastination, completing my homework, etc. In middle school I was on the honor roll but by the time I graduated from high school my GPA was a 2.8. I almost failed because my organizational skills were so bad that I couldn't complete most of my homework.

College was hard for me too. I had some success in my classes but certain subjects were too difficult for me to complete, so I've been to college twice but never earned a degree. Studying was difficult for me and writing essays for my english class was impossible. I'm wondering if I'll ever earn a bachelor's degree, I always wanted to get a degree but never knew what I wanted to do with my life.

Has anyone with bipolar made it through a highet education? What helped you succeed? Has your condition made it more difficult?
