My husband was talking about building a garage (but we don't have the money) and I felt panic stricken! Or if something doesn't turn out right...I made cornbread last night and the middle wasn't done and I was so upset!
My job is very stressful... I'm not working right now, but I wonder how will I ever be able to go back if I can't take ANY stress at the moment? This was my first true manic episode, before this it was hypomania or depression. I wonder if that's why I'm so touchy or what?

I cannot handle any stress whatsoever. For the past few weeks I have had to do million things a moment and I cannot deal with it all. I got physically sick with a swollen lymph node in my throat and it is not getting better with antibiotics so I have to go back to the dr. tomorrow.
I don't know why most of us can't handle stress. I haven't even had the time to do the specific meditation my therapist is teaching me, and I don't feel well enough to even do it.
I think you should talk to your therapist about the stress you cannot handle. She/he can teach you coping skills to deal with it.
Good Luck!
