I've been reading up on bipolar disorder and suddenly a lot more of my life makes sense.
I really identify with your feeling that "suddenly a lot more of my life makes sense." Exactly the way I felt, when at 63 I heard that I wasn't clinically depressed, I was bi-polar. I knew in my guts they were right.

And I can understand how scary it must be when you're just trying to get your career up & going. What lousy timing. But who knows, god's truly got mysterious ways so look for unexpected windows & doors while you're about your job search

My life's certainly been amazing; not what I'd planned but infinitely better! Stay open, stay connected, & never, never, never give up. Everyone has a path. Persevere till you're on yours.
