Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Glad you're feeling better about returning to work. I didn't mean to pick on you about your observation that your manager is obese and I certainly didn't take any offense. Don't give it another thought.
I like your problem-solving skills by looking at the situation from all angles. Like I said, we employer-types like our employees healthy and if that means a couple shifts off -- no big deal. :)
