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.
Of course, the ideal is to have both ;-)
Are you suggesting that true financial security can only be obtained if you work at a job you hate?...
I am just trying to make a decision about my future. At current, I have a very good job finacally but I don't particulary like it. I don't hate it just not fond of it. I have the opportunity to go after my masters next fall but I will not have much money to live on for at least 4 yrs. I am just polling people to see what they would do.
My (soon to be ex) husband ,moved me 200 miles from the SF bay area.I had a wonderfull ,highly paid job.
An oppurtunity came up for him in a small No Cal town ...his "dream job".
I felt like it would be a terrible thing to deprive him of his DREAM.This was a job,he had prepared himself for ,his entire life.
So we move to No. Cal.
It turns out the job was only seasonal...not entirely explained in detail to me,or to him.
So we left a good life in the bay area....lived in poverty ,hand to mouth for years(unemployment 30%..most work available ,part-time only ,no beni's).
Being so broke ,that the utility co leaves shut off notes.Just barely getting by.
This stress,along with a S*** load of other things..finally broke our marriage.
I finally see it ,as a totally selfish act on his part....sacrifice my career for his DREAM.
By the way...he knew it was a seasonal job when we moved here....he didn't tell me that.So,I've felt like the last few years of our life ,was founded upon a lie.
So,do what you love,but not at the expence of financial security,or sacrifice on your partner.
That's my 2 cents!
