My university asked me to leave last semester because I had been unstable due to an addiction to medication I had been taking for my condition. I agreed to leave instead of trying to fight their decision. I am now wanting to re-enroll for the Fall semester, yet am still not completely stable, yet I no longer am an addict of the sedative medication. Can they deny me re-enrollment? Can I legally sue them to re-enroll me? Is there some protection under the ADA or something.
I am an undergraduate student and have been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder.
How do you avoid going through therapist after therapist trying to find the right one and cause the bipolar patient to become discouraged . I have someone close to me that needs help . She lives in the Houston,Spring,Conroe,Texas area.Are there specific meds for it or are combined meds required. Any info would be helpful.
i’m taking this medication for depression but I wasn’t told I was bipolar

I’ve just started my period two days ago, and it’s wierd this time! I’m not ever really hungry, and the blood looks kinda like a dark pink/light red/orange! PLUS i’ve been getting dizzy and i’m EXTREMELY behaving bipolar! Is this normal? if not, what could be causing it? I’m kinda scared D;
- constipated for over 3 months. this means a bm every 2 days when i am taking fiber or laxative.
- diet kind of bipolar meaning eat real good for 1 or 2 days (organic fruits and veggies and whole grains) and then real bad for 1 or 2 days (pizza, candy, simple starch)
- have gained about 15 lbs over last year, and almost all of it is in hard round belly.
(also quit smoking 1.5 yr ago)
- fiber doesnt work as well as it should (took psyllium)
- laxatives take 2 days (senna pills)
- had a colonic - and nothing came out!!!!
- have decent amount of anxiety going on, which has always contributed to constipation. am currently in therapy
- short walks or bikes rides a few times a week, but not much.
- have no medical insurance and am a student, so no income and do not qualify for state benefits cause i am a student.
BC (birth control) i have been on tri cyclen low, microgestin, yaz, and now the depo birth control (the shot)…. each was between 3-7months. tri cyclen low cause me to bleed for a month (heavy) so we switched to microgestin and it worked at first but after 3 months i ended up having 3week long periods and it would cause my mood to make me bipolar..i would cry over anything i would yell at my fiance if he put too much ice in a drink and the next second i would be laughing at the tv… it wasn’t live-able so we went to yaz and that birth control was amazing..my mood was balanced, i was having exact periods exact days..and then after a few months sex was impossible it would hurt extremely bad, to the point where i was in tears and bleeding afterword…so i went to an OBG/YN and he suggested the depo shot and now 6weeks later i haven’t stopped "spotting" and my mood is once again bi-polar i cry about commercials and i yell about dishes and you get the idea..and sex hasn’t improved to the point where we can do it more than three times a month and i have called my current OBG/YN and he told me to wait a few more weeks and if no change we need to change it, my largest concern is that in less than 6 weeks i will be going on my honeymoon and i don’t know if its a ridiculous request but we would like to enjoy our honeymoon without unnecessary fighting or lack of sex…. SUGGESTIONS?
So I am usually not too bad on my period..
But this time..I woke up at night and started complaining to my bf about not having cake in the fridge cause I was craving like crazy…and the poor guy got so scared…ehe
I am like..crying from reading a book that’s not even sad..and can’t stop eating!
And then I’m happy! WTF!
How do I help myself calm down?
Also…I am bad with heat temperature..just puts me in a bitchy mood..and it is a little too hot…but then the other rooms in my house are freezing cold…
AGH!
Anyone else been in this boat? I kinda wanna rip my uterus out..haha
Thank you ladies!
Today, mostly tonight, I’ve been feeling very disoriented. I can’t seem to finish a sentence, think of words, or finish a task. It is taking me forever to write this because I have to stop every few words and remember what I was thinking.
I’m on a lot of meds for bipolar, but none of them are new.
What could be wrong with me, what should I do?
