Which is worse...
Dropping out of college, or never giving it a try?
There is a good chance you could succeed, especially with medication. Maybe you could start going part time at first?
College works for some people, and for others it doesn't. It's not for everyone. But the fact that you are even considering going must mean that you are interested in going, right?
I have bipolar and social anxiety too, and I am a university student It's tough....give the meds some time....

> I was just diagnosed bipolar ultradian rapid cycling 6 weeks ago, with social phobia 1 week ago, and while I'm getting treatment, none of it is really working yet!! My psychiatrist is confident I'll be ready to go back to school in 5 weeks but I'm soooo scared!! It's like, I don't know if I can handle being in school but if I don't go what do I do? Be a college dropout? Ugh.
