I’m dropping out of school after this semester. I grew up in an upper/upper middle class family and I’ll be the only person in my family (cousins, aunts, uncles, parents) to not graduate from college. I take medication for bipolar disorder (antipsychotics and mood stabilizers) and I can’t replicate what I used to be able to do before the medication. I’m not the same guy and it’s just too hard.
I’m applying to warehouse jobs that give benefits. I’m going to focus mainly on getting Veeky Forums and getting my mental health back in order. Maybe one day I’ll go back and get my degree.
I just want to get Veeky Forums, I don’t care what my family thinks of me. As the youngest, my older siblings never talk to me anyways.

Ok, that sounds like a reasonable plan. Hope it works out for you.
Xavier Thompson

Are you living with your parents user? Also bipolar meds are not a good longterm strategy imo.
Hunter Wood
yes

How dyel are you. Getting fit is most likely a distraction unless you're seriously /fat/. Generally people like you are lacking a good social life more than anything.

I'm at 20% bf at 5'10.
I'm a loner, the last time I had a social life I lived on campus and that 3 years ago.
My psychiatrist said I'm his "most confusing patient", and finds it hard to believe that a "good looking, 'smart(im not smart)', nice guy" has no friends and leads a reclusive life.
I think part of this is being raised in an upper/upper middle class town where I didn't fit in and then not accepting people who wanted to be my friend because I believed they were "below me" in some way

Whats your discord / kik / ps4 ?
Brayden Campbell
I don’t have a kik and my parents bought me a ps4 a couple years ago and I haven’t even set it up yet
I used to play video games, I just found that I’d get addicted them and have ragers till 4 in morning so I stopped

I'll translate this.
>I’m dropping out of school after this semester. I give up incredibly easily and when things don't go my way I quit. >I grew up in an upper/upper middle class family mommy and daddy are paying for college > I take medication for bipolar disorder i need attention syndrome, notice he didnt say he was afflicted by this ""mental illness"" >it’s just too hard again, if i dont get something right away i cry, whine and quit >I just want to get Veeky Forums, I don’t care what my family thinks of me. no you don't, you have no motivation or dedication, the only reason you think you care about getting Veeky Forums is because your noob gains are just coming in quite easily but as soon as you stall youll cry whine and quit just like you always do.
suicide my friend, thats should be your plan
Landon Gomez
Wtf you are literally me 3 yrs ago
Joseph Torres
Meh. Mommy and daddy will take care of me and then after that my sister will take me in. Being the youngest of five has its perks
Elijah Perez
How old are you ol buddy ol pal
Angel Morales
That is of course, if my plans don’t work out and I’m at the end of my rope

I was diagnosed with bipolar as well (got off drugs after a year), and I ended up dropping out because of a long depressive episode. Now I just wish I'd have finished.
I'm not saying my situation is the same as yours.. but I am saying you'll regret this in all likelihood. Menial labor jobs suck. I worked in a warehouse for four years and it was trash. Took another two years before I finally got something I don't hate that actually pays a lot (warehouse jobs rarely do).
Life isn't fun, but giving up is only going to make it worse.

Just a thought maybe look at a trade there is a large demand for skilled workers and if you find one that suits you work is pretty alright. Sounds like you have your ducks in a row though, good luck.

Look into magnesium supplementation for that bipolar disorder. I'm far too lazy to find it, but there's a study out there that shows people who take 250mg of magnesium 3x per day for a week show marked improvement in their depression/anxiety and that's closely linked to bipolar.
Also eat fatty fish.

Bipolar 1 or 2? My brother is a type 1 and he benefited immensely from his meds, at least initially. Then they had to keep upping the doses because he keeps developing a resistance, and now he's bordering on lithium toxicity and everything makes him puke. He's still sharper than he has been in the past though.

Brah move to oklahoma and il be your roommate, considering ditching the college maymay and picking up a trade. We can get fit and do what normal bros do, minus the pp touching. Plus housing is much cheaper here as well i reckon.

I've been in exactly the same position as you. Upper middle class, bipolar and a family full of really high achievers (fed parliament, judges, lawyers, CEO's, kinda gucked up) and god I wish I didn't drop out of uni. You think ypu're depressed now just imagine you're family turning against you, having no real ambitions anymore, waging away at a dead-end job everyday, more time to wallow in your self pity. Trust me you can feel alot worse.
Does your family know about your issues? Are you in some guidance program? Are you in therapy? There are even more things that can help you help yourself to get better. Maybe make a plan with your family to skip a semester and instantly going back after that, maybe go into an intensive mental careprogram. It's 100x better to reach out to people for help than to blow up your life, you wilk regret this. There is nothing to be ashamed about, just dont act on this. If you're really bipolar you should not make decisions like that at this moment. You're either depressed or manic and your mind is clouded. This is bipolar 101 shit.
