II don't think I like your therapist. If you are bipolar II you are already carrying a lot of stress with you besides taking on anything else. If you decide to go back to school can you do it part time so it won't be so stressful? Also a lot of us have social anxiety because we are different and tend to be more sensitive and empathic and self critical . Have you ever thought of joining a support group in your area? That can help you be selective and make friends. what medication are you on? I don't like your psychiatrist either.It is important to know your diagnosis to know what you are up against or to know if it doesn't fit.
