College to me-as someone diagnosed with the bipolar type of schizoaffective disorder-was largely defined by an immense struggle with my mental illness, specifically the bipolar side. Don’t get me wrong, I was still hallucinating-the schizophrenic side was still there-but it wasn’t a part of the problem. As wild as that sounds, it’s the truth.
It’s also important here to say that the reason I got through college at all was because I was able to work with what little I knew of my condition.
What I didn’t say in this video is that I didn’t always know if I was hypomanic or not, but I did know when I was depressed and that’s what caused the majority of my mood related issues. I always knew depression was around the corner, because somehow it would always find me. Stress was a major cause of mental issues in college (as well as now) so of course midterms and finals would be my downfall mood wise. I didn’t always manage well, but I survived-literally-and that’s what matters.
And while I was in college, I would get so depressed and my hypomania so severe that I would go from being diagnosed with cyclothymia to being diagnosed with bipolar II disorder.
And with that, I would love to talk more about my college experience-this was mainly a massive overview-so let me know what you’d like me to talk about in the comments if you have any ideas! Tips and tricks or a deep dive, I want to hear it all!
Enjoy the video and let me know what you think :)
