I’m doing this for myself and for whoever needs to hear this. 2 years ago my bipolar wasn’t bad. I was about to graduate university with a degree in physics. I left an abusive relationship of 7 years, started transitioning from male to female, including doing hormone therapy, and lost my dog and what i thought were close friends in the process. My symptoms became unmanageable and I had to drop out. I went through many different mental health professionals and different medicines. After two years, I’m at a place where I am just starting to function normally again. I just want to say that healing takes time, and don’t feel bad about taking breaks in school or anything to focus on your mental health. There is no rush. 

Tl:dr
Healing takes time do not be hard on yourself, do not give up.
