I like this community and have found so many of your posts insightful AND helpful..If I didnt have this group i wouldnt have any support of others who are bipolar..I just want to say THANK YOU!

Glad that you find this website helpful.....I understand about the " Pit of Despair ", going back to work after having a few days off always sucks......But on a good note, I deff feel that working always brings a sense of acompishment, at least to me, I deff don't think that I would be able to constantly just sit home and do nothing, I like being a productive member of society.....

mommyof2girls~ Me, too! My work days are always so much more structured than my days off...Thats good for me. I would go CRAZY just sitting around all day...well Im hypomanic right now so I wouldnt be sitting... but u get the picture, lol.

I've always had trouble with unstructured days. Saturday and Sunday are one thing, they are just a respite in the hecticness of the week. It's the long summer of not teaching that worries me.

Does anyone one else have that "Lost" feeling when they don't have an external structure?

I love the way you describe your job as the "pit of despair" Grin. That sounds like my last job. I was just hanging in there trying to make it to a year so i could request a different position. I went out on disability after 6 months.

I'm glad you like our little community. I hope it continues to be a helpful place to hang out.

I think it depends. I really hate my job, but I can't quit. So for me it's torture to be at work and I feel like a caged animal. Plus the hours are too much for me. I think if I could make similar money working less hours somewhere else, I would feel better about it...
