[QUOTE="Gatheredtogether, post: 603624, member: 16711"] Thank you Skotti, Unfortunately, my son is unable to handle hard labor. He easily become exhausted (I'm the same). I think it has to do with our bipolar which for him is mostly a depressed state which leaves the body struggling for energy. He's great with computers and of course music like I mentioned. He needs a low stress job. He worked at pizza delivery for awhile...had three car accidents in three months. The boss was constantly contacting him..where are you, hurry up etc. which he did with all the employees but for my son it was too much. My son can't take that stress and the result was a totaled car and a kid having a breakdown. We learned then what he couldn't do. He worked at a car wash for a year which seemed to be going perfect. He slowly started breaking down and going in less and less. Apparently, he was burned out..bipolar is difficult to regulate. I appreciate your suggestions. I think he would do really well in something like computers (I always thought he'd make an excellent music engineer considering he's great in music). Once he gets over his fear I'm certain he'll find the thing that works for him. If I continue doing my part in not enabling, I think he'll find he's got more inner strength than he ever imagined. by the way..I fake it in public every day and have all my life then I collapse when I get home...that in itself is exhausting, isn't it? Thank you Skotti for caring, taking the time to write, and especially for sharing about yourself. That helps so much. Barbara [/QUOTE]
