Adulting with bipolar & cPTSD

Adulting with bipolar & cPTSD

I've been recovering from a severe depressive episode for 2 years. I haven't been able to work but I've just started back at uni part time. I'm really overwhelmed and I'm only over 1 week in. Idk how to structure my life without my mental health going up in flames. It's not just about time for class and study, it's meeting deadlines (two in 2 weeks!) while keeping all the other balls up in the air too; sleep, eating, parenting, appts etc. How do others manage to cope and structure their time when in a depressive episode?

Re: Adulting with bipolar & cPTSD

There are others here who have tried ECT @HealingJourney

They've said it helps to 'reactivate' parts of the brain, but then it's about therapy to keep those areas activated...
