i’m a teenager and i work in the fast food industry. i know a lot of you are much older than me and that bipolar definitely got me young haha, but i’m just feeling really down. i do a combination of high school and college, which takes up a lot of my time and energy. and on top of that i’m trying to manage my bipolar with meds which is going pretty badly, while trying to do a million different things. i had to drop a few extracurriculars because they were taking up too much time and energy. when you’re fighting yourself it’s so hard to think positively and do a lot. i need to quit my job now too because i’m really suicidal and i just need to focus on myself and figuring this condition out. 

i’d really just appreciate some support because i feel really ashamed and like a failure. thanks. 

tl;dr i need to quit my job because i’ve got a lot on my plate and this illness is making me feel really bad. i’d appreciate some kind words and your guys’ stories because i feel like a failure.
