I need the help and want to be better. i am reading on the disease and want to learn as much as possible. but work especially something stressful would send me either into a sexually compulsive downspin with the a likely candidate i worked with or i would go into a manic attack and just stay in my bed for 3 days and change my phone number to let my job know i am not coming back. thanks for listening.
