I Battle Bipolar Disorder

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder after i attempted suicide and was hospitalized six months ago. since, I've been on meds and in therapy. But, now that I moved to college, I no longer has access to meds or therapy because my school has made it super hard to get these things. because of this, i've been in a depressive episode for weeks. my school work is suffering. i can barely get out of bed. i'm self-harming again. i'm not eating. i feel so hopeless and worthless. i am failing my family. i feel so alone. i have no friends besides the ones from home, but i am such a burden to them. i hate this.

When suffering with mental health issues unfortunately you have to put your mental health above school, family and anything else because if you don't then all these things will fail anyway.

That is what's happening to you now.

You must put your mental health first. You must get what you need. This is all that matters right now. F*** all the other stuff and I mean f*** - get angry, don't take any shit and do whatever you have to do to stay well.
