This is a real problem at work as I work at a law firm and my hours are billable. I seem to have the episodes the week before and during my menstrual cycle. Do you know hormonal changes can effect my bi polar cycle/episodes? This is a real problem and I have so much anxiety because my Manager has approached me about my job performance and has sad some threatening thing to me regarding my position. I am so anxious and afraid it has a negative effect on my performance, which does not help the situation at all.

I had one day of pretty strong hypomania this week. I was trying to work, but when I clicked the wrong button too fast, I realized that I was better off not working right then... I hope that you are doing alright. I miss your daily posts! I've been thinking of writing a blog or more Squidoo lenses.... But with my moods, I only really feel like writing sometimes. I think if I am going to have a regular blog I will have to write some posts ahead of time, so that I have them ready to post even if I'm not feeling good. I saw the best documentary on Bipolar Disorder lately. It's call "Stephen Fry: The Secret Life of a Manic Depressive" It's on YouTube, broken up into 10 minute segments, but easily viewable - the entire thing is there, part 1 through part 12. It's really, really good - not at all condescending or instructive - but very insightful. It really helps knowing that so many people deal with this illness - even many successful people! Best regards, HB It is often a confusing illness! I had one day of pretty strong hypomania this week.

I probably average 4 days a week, instead of 5 like most people. I haven't told me boss my problem, because I think it might hurt my chances of getting a promotion. But I think I have hurt my chances anyway, by not coming to work consistently. I have many days when I don’t think that I can get up and go to work.
