I absolutely HATE HATE HATE school. It's not just the opposite of a passing fancy but it's the cause of why I have a personality disorder (or possibly more). I have bipolar (manic depression) because of all the stress and cliques and homework and projects. we have 10 assignments a day and they're all due the next day. It's destroying me even though I have a high IQ and straight a grades. I have told my parents but they do not take me seriously. they have enrolled me for next school year (3rd year high) and I DON'T THINK I CAN HANDLE ANY MORE. I don't even know what I want to be when I grow up.
I can't sleep, eat, and almost every weekend I am at somebody's house or at school staying overnight doing some project. It does not help that we are run by strict nuns and the fact that my mum works at night and does not see me because I go to school at 5 am and go home 7 pm.
I just waste what's left of my weekend doing things I like but they make me so depressed 'cuz I know they won't last.

They are the same. Manic Depression simply defines the illness in another term. Bipolar people (like me) get 'manic' at times and 'depressed' as well.
My favorite is "Red House", but "Manic Depression" is certainly a top five choice.
