Lots of people do it. You are far from alone. My mom is a professor of education and a majority of her students are coming in as adults after some other career. I can't say that most have another MS but many are making a career change at 30 or 40 or 50.
So definitely not crazy.

I would have remained at a job I loathed until I retired a bitter old lady someday. Basically the mania pushed me, gave me the courage/insanity to take huge risk. While I am committed to staying on meds/out of the psych unit, I guess in a way i am thankful to my mental illness.
