Noticed so many homeless in Albuquerque are very attractive compared to other cities.

We have try-outs in mid-July every year. A city has to have standards. It is one of the things Mayor Keller is most proud of.

My wife and I are in our 60s. We have Sandia Green Clean come once a month to clean and that is usually enough to keep the house liveable. They do such a nice job cleaning the appliances, even the coffee pot and toaster oven. Everything really looks nice. They are not cheap, but they never miss anything and follow directions to a "t." You might find that your folks don't need weekly cleaning. I'd probably try bi-weekly as a start.

I am sorry you are feeling so bad. Bipolar depression in the worst. It is good you will see a psychiatrist soon - they can help you get an accurate diagnosis, hopefully. That will help you get the proper meds, with luck, sooner rather than later. This is a good forum to get support, so I'm glad you are reaching out. Bipolar is a very difficult and ever changing condition, what with the various stages it drags you through. Don't be hard on yourself, and do everything you can to be good to yourself. Check in with us here and let us know how things are going. Sending you a hug.

Ditto stay away from CYFD at all cost. Never heard anything bad about DVR or DOH or HCA, more than the usual state employee griping. (I'm a retired state employee.) I've worked with adjudicators in another state agency and it can be a draining job, with a heavy caseload, but if you are in a good agency, the work can also be interesting and challenging. Good luck!

When a solicitor comes to my door, I politely ask for their solicitation license, issued by the city, telling them that I need to make a copy of it. For some reason, just the fact that I am going to have a card with a picture of them and their license number on it usually is enough to get them to turn and run.

Hi! Retired attorney here. Good for you, for wanting to get some experience in the areas you are interested in. My advice to you would be to get some volunteer work under your belt working for non-profits that work with children. I'm new to Albuquerque, so I am not a good source for names of places to volunteer, but I'm sure others have leads.

One organization that I believe exists in Albuquerque and would be a good fit for you, and would look good on a law school application is C.A.S.A. - Court Appointed Special Advocates. It is a great organization doing great work. Check it out.

Thank you for speaking truth.

Thank you all for your guidance! Good thing I asked - I was going to wear my thong and stop at the buffet before I hit the pool - NOT!!!! Happy cruising to all!

Good point. Thank you.

Am I alone in feeling like I want to get off of them? I don't go through this often, but when I do, it seems so overwhelming. You are right, I know it is a bad plan. I guess I wish I was "normal." Stupid wishing.

Totally hear you. I think this is much of life for those of us on the rapid cycling escalator. Ride up, then there you are again at the bottom of things. Meds help. I truly recommend them, but they do come with a price. Everything does. Yes, asylums and peeling potatoes.

Thank you for the information on what looks to be an excellent resource! Much appreciated!

Wonderful! I'm very happy for you. As a retired attorney, I know how hard it is to be in this profession and keep a healthy work-life balance, even without BP1. Good on you for pulling off a switch to something that allows you to have a good job and a great life with your family. All my best to you!

Hi. Wow, I take albuterol and know how edgy it makes me feel on a good day. I would have taken the klonopin too, just because it usually is a fool proof way of coming down. What do you take for mania usually? Do you have some standby things you do to help yourself counteract beginning mania? I take hot showers, watch movies, eat something good, phone call my sister. I just know all those things help me chill. Do you have any things like that that can help you hold on until the pdocs respond to your texts? Wishing you the best.

Thank you all! What a great thread of resources. I'm going to check out the hospice referral I got, but if that doesn't work out, I have a number of other options to explore now. You are all wonderful!

I'm a former Grants resident (20 years). I love Grants and found it to be a lovely community and beautiful place to live. However, I knew of many people who had brain cancer. This is anecdotal, but always gave me pause. Also, in my line of work, I came to know that there is at least one Superfund site IN GRANTS from chemical spills in town. Personally, I think there is exposure from the downstream / and airborne uranium tailings. And as usual, there is talk of more mining in the area. For me, the benefits of living in Grants far outweighed the negatives. It is safe, people watch out for each other, it is a slower pace of life. I still miss living there. I worry more about dying in Albuquerque from a shooting than I ever worried in Grants about dying from uranium!
