thats a good a idea...and I'm looking into working at a university. But yeah, my illness has gotten worse since school. I had a severe mixed episode during my 2nd (of 4) semester in grad school but otherwise did ok. I've had several severe depressed/hypomanic/mixed episodes since school though. So the frequency has gotten much worse.

My husband wants me to take some time off to rest and heal but I just don't know how long I need to rest. Although, as I type that I think he'll be able to tell me when I'm ready to work again even if I'm not sure. He knows me very well and I know has my best interest in mind.
