Wendy:
Thank you so much for sharing your story!!! It's a real lifter! One of the major problems with Bipolar Disorder (I'm BPII, too) or I imagine with Depression in general, is after you've been depressed and start to come back up, and up, and up, you decide you can take on the world, and you take on too much, and then you crash, and then it starts all over again (at least this has been my experience).
You offer a reasonable alternative. I had a similar experience when I temped. But I also dealt with extreme guilt the whole time, and couldn't keep it up because I was not getting help with meds, or a pdoc, or research, etc.
Thanks again.
