Mania is only bad for the persons bank account and potentially STD's really... :laugh2: Mania is the least worry of bipolar to have. :D You become productive. Sure, you can be a little too frivolous with your bank account and a little too promiscuous but that's not everyone... :laugh2: All in all mania is the least terrible part of bipolar. :P It's the depression or anger that is the terrible part of it. :ugh: I'd kill to be in a constant state of mania are you kidding me! You sleep like two hours a day and feel like you slept 10, can work for like 20 hours and feel GREAT about it, talk forever with someone about crap you'd slap them for on any other day and go home and STILL clean your house with a toothbrush and smile while you do it! :laugh2: In all seriousness though, mania is the least bad part of bipolar... it's just like being in an unusually good mood essentially. It can have sooooome consequences... but nothing like the other parts of bipolar... :shock:

I have to totally disagree. My ex husband I am positive has undiagnosed manic depressive disorder. Bipolar people go through their highs and lows quickly, sometimes several times a day. With m/d they go long periods being "ok" manic or depressed. My ex was in full blown Charlie Sheen "WINNING" hyper mania for 3 months. It was horrible. For the first month I though he was smoking crack and I was forever looking for his stash. He quit his job and decided to start a landscaping business, then he decided he wanted to sell plants. he'd dig up plants from the woods, and I stg he was stealing people
plants out of their yards then he'd be up all night every night replanting them. My back yard looked like a jungle. He lost like 30 pounds because he wasn't eating or sleeping. They turned off his debit card because he was using it so much it threw up red flags with the bank. He literally used all if tax refund buying dirt and fertilizer. He was OBSSESED with mushrooms and fudge. When he was pitying plants he was looking fir mushrooms or trying to make the perfect fudge. He had an explosive temper. One night he yelled at me for 5 minutes for stirring his fudge. I was going to school at the time, I needed to go on the comp and do homework. We had a virus on the cop and he was running a scan to find it. So I was not allowed to touch the computer. This is the same night as the fudge. Well I'm checking on the scan, it found the virus. I go in the backyard to tell him it's done and they found it. Yes he was pitying plants. He comes and freaks out that I touched the comp. he punched the minister cracked it all to hell then picked up the CPU over his head and slammed it on the floor. I was taking an online business course, he freaked the kids out. They were there and they wouldn't let him drive them to school any more. See they weren't taking the bus because he'd be up all night and wouldn't wake up to the alarm. This was before I got a sonic boom alarm clock. They were late for school all the time. During this 3 month period he broke all if my wine glasses lo, threw me out of the house and locked me out. Bagged up all his mothers stuff in trash bags and kicked her out.

He was a raving freaking lunatic. Mania is NOT the least of their priblems. It's the worst if their problems. Then he spent another 3 months depressed.

Ooo.

Where through?

I am considering something like this (AA or BA or.. something) as a large portion of jobs (as a QA Tester) are now asking for a BA degree in Computer Engineering/Science or similar)... My degree is in something else and back when I first started doing testing many didn't even have the requirement of a degree (all I have is a diploma from a business school)- they were more interested in finding bodies for the Y2K deal.

Only thing stopping me right now is money. That and the math/economics courses...those frighten me lol.

there is always exception and they do not always look for one that satisfies every specific requirement. the requirement field is actually an ideal. that's why there are 2 types of requirements... something like this - "Requirement" (their ideal employee) and "Required" (absolutely must have)

most of my jobs - I do not meet their requirements completely but they will overlook it depending on your experiences and personality.

in most cases - the BA degree requirement is always overlooked or waived if you have sufficient amount of experiences.

Yes, even though it's a rough job market as long as you stay abreast of technologies you would be ok. One thing that does help is doing some kind of work just to showcase your talents. For example, you could start a tech blog, volunteer at a nonprofit doing computer work, etc... you wouldnt make a ton of money but the important thing is that you get exposure.

After all if they hire you they're going to wonder, "So what have you been doing"? Hint: sitting on the couch is a bad answer.
 
Whoo Hoo!! Warmer weather, here I come!! I have just confirmed a home visit for May 30th to June 1st. I'll be glad to get out of this refrigerator of a city. :P Southern IL, here I come!!
 
Drinking coffee. I don't know what I'm thinking, doing that at 8 pm. I'll never get to sleep tonight now. :lol:
 
Just starting to make my checklist for the upcoming Amtrak trip on Train #393. First to do is get the tickets on Thursday. Then after that, I shall see about getting some summertime accessories for that area. Then I need to shop for food and snacks.
 
I was looking into trying to get data service on this old smartphone so I can use IPrelay at any time for an emergency, not just when I'm near wifi.

Can't find a data only plan or mobile wifi device in my price range. Was hoping the deaf phone plan could be combined with lifeline program, but nope.
