hey everybody,

i hope that i didn't sound judgmental about working or not working with bipolar. i'm not working more than i am. i've had more nursing jobs than i could count. i always leave before i get fired. even working agency i still upset people with my call ins. i get real defensive and tell them that i have a medical condition.( i don't tell them it's bipolar, not so much fear as shame) i really hope that i can keep working for a while(maybe i should really get that book finished, i have 25 pages so far). i live alone, there is noone to take care of me. when i'm down i suffer alone (until psychcentral) there's noone in my family that can or will take care of me. i get real scared sometimes. i tend to overcompensate by being overly optimistic. please forgive me if i sounded insensitive. i've been a little hypomanic for weeks, so i'm feeling like ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!
