Based on figures from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication, an estimated 2.8% of Americans have bipolar disorder. Prevalence is similar in both men and women, which means not only is it more common than most people think, it is also not limited to just a select group of people.
Characterized by dramatic shifts in mood, energy, and activity, having this disorder can be taxing for most working people. It can deter productivity and even harm social relations with colleagues. The shifts in mood are more severe than most regular people experience and so can be considered a cause of impairment, some are even so severe that they can also become psychotic.

Have you ever uttered the words "I told you so!" I'm sure it felt good to be right. If you are like me, you may have felt a little satisfaction in reminding someone that they should have listened to you. I know there is a sense of being obnoxious, but it is a natural feeling. As you get older and wiser, you tend to realize many things. Very often, you tend to realize things too late. As much as you would love to say "I told you so," you would hate to say it to yourself. However, if you just thought of things earlier in your life, things may have been better. If you had a chance to talk to yourself from 20 or 30 years ago, what would you say? Here are some of the best things to tell your younger self.
Our parents are the people we always look up to. They are our rock growing up. A symbol of strength and consistency that we run to for anything. We have this lasting image of them as our heroes. This is what makes aging so difficult for us to accept. We can not accept the fact that our parents are no longer the reliable people we know. As with anything in this world, they weaken and grow old as time passes. Accepting the fact that they need additional help later in life may be difficult, but essential. Here are the signs you need to look for that may mean they need long-term care.
We've all had dreams of becoming a professional athlete. Who wouldn't want to be the hero of their favorite sports team? Whether it is scoring the winning shot or running that last yard, the glory of winning a championship seems so majestic. Chants of "MVP" echo through the rafters and all the hard work you put in is paid off. However, this is just one part of the reality.
Outside of the hard work, determination, and hardships athletes do to keep their craft; injuries are a significant risk. It can wipe a career away in seconds. It is common for athletes to sustain injuries. I do not think there is an athlete who has not been injured or endured some long-term effects due to their craft. Here are some examples. Stress is a real problem. As life gets busier and more difficult, stress exponentially increases. It can hinder your ability, weigh you down, and even cause medical conditions. It is a real problem that we should deal with. Stress in our life is unavoidable. The key here is how we can manage it. Managing stress is our best bet battling it. It ensures it does not get the better of us. It is easier said than done, but here are some ways you can fight your everyday stress.
We've all felt this at some point. You wake up, and feel heavy. Your mind is floating and body is aching. You are too weak to move. So you call in and say you can't work today. You are under the weather, tired, or really sick. Whatever it is, it prevents you from going to work. Now imagine if you are like that for an extended period. What if you can not work for a few months or a few years. Or what if you can not go back to work at all. There are many possibilities that can end a career. Health is one of them.
It is not just for a certain type of work. Accidents can happen anywhere, and at any field of work. You may be working on a construction site, or in an office, but an injury is and injury. You may be surprised at some reasons why some people are no longer able to work. These are serious conditions that debilitate a person. Which is why it is very important to be careful, vigilant, and healthy with our everyday life. Here are some surprising conditions that can keep you from working. For many types of insurance, you may not even ask if you need it. You just get it. If you have a new car, you get car insurance. If you have a new home, you get home insurance. Life insurance? Yes please. However, one of the trickiest decisions, is if you will get long term care insurance.
Long term care insurance is difficult to decide on. On one hand, you do not want to bother your family and loved ones when you are older. You do not want to burden them with your care, or your expenses for care. However, on the other hand, will you be needing long term care in the future? Unfortunately, there is no easy answer to this. However, by studying yourself, you can strategize a little bit. Here are some points to ponder. Have you ever had a feeling when you just want to drop everything? You are so occupied with the noise of your day, your forget to listen to the tune of your life. Do you feel like you are not where you are supposed to be? If you suddenly feel like you are not where you are supposed to be, then maybe you need to rediscover.
Rediscover what? You may ask. Rediscover yourself and do a little soul searching. Life can take us into many directions. Most of the time you just go with the flow and may lose the way you were supposed to go. If you're lucky then it works out for you. You may have found it by accident but you are happy. If not, then maybe you need to seek your vision again. Let's face it, we can all use a little bit more cash. I don't think anyone would mind having another stream of income outside of your daily work. You can use it to buy a new gadget. It can fund an expensive hobby. Or maybe you can have the garden fixed or roof repaired. There are many ways of spending it, but are there more ways we can earn it? What if there was a way you can have multiple streams of income. Here are some ideas.
At one point in our life, we think of how our retirement will be. There are people who cannot stop working even at this time. They still want to be active and would like to earn money at the same time. The good news is, there are hobbies that can help bring you some money during retirement.
The following are 5 hobbies that you may have been already doing, and there are hobbies that you can start to pursue now. Every one of these can help generate income. |
