Full load is 12 hours, which is roughly 4 classes and take some online and be upfront with your teachers about your learning disability and bipolar.

Schools have something called special student services (or similar name) for people in your shoes!  THey will help you out with things like getting a longer amount of time to take a test, free tutoring, etc.   All you have to do is prove to them your disabilities (doctors notes, something like that) and they will help you out!
