| Hi When I get really stressed I usually have a meltdown, but afterwards I have a period of Mania. I have brilliant ideas (or at least I think they are at the time). I can't stop talking and quite often people don't understand what I am talking about (I miss out information and I think everyone knows... |

| That was going to be next trial, breaking days up into 3 parts. I hate not being productive. I do the same, lump jobs together. |

| It's ok to be by yourself and be introverted, not having friends doesn't mean there is something wrong with you!! |

I don't have one at home, because it drives me insane if I decide I am going to do something on a particular day and then something happens to screw it up like making an appointment or running an errand.
