I never allowed myself to take any time off of work to adjust to meds. I have been this way since I was nine so the swings have always been normal to me. swings... the empty feeling that goes with it. the acting out for attention when I felt that way. The social impairment, feeling like the odd one out all of the time.

Ugh.. if only Bipolar was just that.. swings. But no, as with everything else it encompasses so much more. Emotional problems. Cognitive problems. behavioral problems. AAAHHHHH!

Crap.. I forgot the question!

Oh yeah, taking time off. No.. I never have to adjust meds. Even when I should have, but I work alone so I can go a little nutty without being noticed.
