I find hypomania also works well in my job - I will literally charge through the corridors, picking up problems en route and attempting to solve 10 at once. The ideas are flowing at those times, too. As long as I don't have to do anything that requires sitting down for more than 30 seconds, it's great!

dijmart - I take comfort from the fact that she knows and will respect the boundaries. I think I have a natural concern about revealing too much to anyone, as the last person I "let in" let me down pretty badly, and it was fairly recent. There's a little part of me that automatically worries this time that she will regret offering me the support that she has, but I'm working on ignoring that part and just being grateful for it!
