Can having more money soften the blow of being Bipolar ?

I most definitely say yes but then the hippies start preaching.
Shut up hippies ! Get back in the Casserole !

A hippy casserole soundz interesting.

I think having more money would soften the blow, because we could blow more money.

Yippee :))

I wouldn't blow it.I'd spend it wisely cos I've learnt about the illness for longer now..

I'd buy a Platinum-plated mansion built on shifting sands !!!

No.Seriously.It'd take some worries away and I'd spend it wisely knowing I have no financial worries.

More money softens every blow. Example, inheritence softens the blow of the death of a loved one in so much that it's easier to grieve if you're not poverty stricken and homeless.

Having money would be the answer to most of my problems.

I know this is going to sound shallow, but to me it is true, so I'll just own it. Having money may not make one happy, but it sure as hell helps. And that includes dealing with having bipolar disorder!

Pot will get you through times of no money, better than money will get you through times of no pot.

Hey, plucky!!
Having more money than bills and especially if you also have enough put away for your old age makes for a lot less stress and that, in turn, has a positive effect on the BP!!!!

I'm lucky enough to be married to s fairly wealthy man who is wise enough to take control of our finances. I get a generous allowance whitch is fine for me. I can splurge usually on the kids with no stress or guilt.

I must admit that there is NOTHING more heavenly to me than a massive shopping spree (okay, not counting anything to do with my sweet daughter, LOL!)

Did I mention that I have a little spending addiction?

    Would I fall under the Insomnia topic? I can't sleep because of the RLS. As soon as I lay down it acts up. I've been getting about 3 hours of sleep per day for the past month. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Is there anything that helps that creepy crawly tingly feeling in the legs. It's now in my arms too.  Started getting this when doc put me on AntiPsychotics. Found out thats the cause so I...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
