Hey Maxime,
Yeah I know what you mean about the "med game". I know there are things left for me to try, but I just don't have much hope that they will work. And it's like people were saying in the thread about the taking-a-new-medication phenomenon... there's often (not always) that little glimmer of hope and/or excitement before you take it.... but with each failure you just feel worse and worse, like there's no hope at all.
I don't like the group therapy for a number of reasons, not so much that I didn't like anyone in the group (although I have had that same experience you describe about people rambling on and on). I just feel disengaged from it, I don't want to do the "homework", someone from my school is in the group too, which I find somewhat mortifying.
> Is there any way you can take a year off from school until you get everything under control?Yes, I could. I'm thinking about taking a semester off, but I haven't really decided about that. In some ways I just want to get it done with, get the degree... but it might be better to wait till I'm in a better spot (if that ever happens) so I could have a better experience with school.

I guess officially it's major depression, but I have some bipolar features which have seemingly gotten much more severe in the last few years. Also, A.D.D.
