Rissa,
I have been struggling in college for many years. It has taken me much longer to finish my degree then most, but I am happy to report 6 years later I am finally a senior! I have learned that organization and NOT procrastinating are two of my biggest assets. I schedule time out in my day, and break down assignments piece by piece. Unfortunately, no matter what school is going to be hard for someone who struggles with mental health and mood regulation. The best thing you can do is be your own best friend. Know when you are taking on to much, know when to pat yourself on the back for trying the best you can, and breathe.
What's the worst part of it for you? I remember my college days and the ups and downs of it.
@blujonny the worst part for me is the stress and commitment. The stress piles up and it makes my symptoms go haywire
Thank you so much! You really helped me

@Rissa give yourself credit where credit is DEFINITELY deserved!! This is ONLY just the beginning for you. I still have a semester left too, so not quite there yet. It’s a long haul, but the pay off is definitely worth it
