I don't think I have the serious periods of mania, I do have days where I am super silly with my coworkers but I sleep more than probably normal and I tend to say no to volunteering anymore because I got tired of being miss goody goody doing it all the time. The only issue I still can't control is my anger. There are times when I just can't hold it in. Last night though I felt I did pretty good. The person that usually gets me upset didn't last night because I wasn't the only one bothered by him. We all kinda stuck together through it which makes it easier to not blow up. However, I have times that I just get so upset I blowup or end up crying alone about it. My kids tell me to get tough. Which is what I tell them but how come it can hurt so much when ppl are just plain rude.
