I think as others have said, dropping out only makes sense if you're dropping out of university and into something else. If you've got an interesting opportunity facing you, go for it! If you just feel demotivated, stick it out! A degree says that you can work on the same thing for 4 years. It says that you can work on things that someone else set you. It may not be exactly like working in the real world is, but then neither is hacking away on your own projects. Most jobs will require you to do stuff that's not particularly interesting. A degree says "I can put my head down and do that". I really enjoyed university. I didn't realise quite how much I enjoyed the flexible hours and heaps of socialising until I left. You're at the one point in your life when you can sleep in, work hours that completely fit you, spend lots of time doing your own stuff and still be respected by society. Make the most of it! If you can, try and talk to a health professional about possibly being bipolar. You'll find that big organisations and your university become much, much more accomodating if you can give documented proof of a condition. Appearing unreliable is probably one of the worst things that you can do for your professional credibility, and so having a formal diagnosis could be very useful.
