Right, so I've not told any of my managers what I'm going through. I've only been here for 10 months, and 13 months ago was hospitalised and first diagnosed with depression. Only decently have my new p-doc and I decided it definitely appears more likely to be Bipolar.

I am 24 and live with my bf (37 years) of 4.5 years.
Just got an e-mail that work wants to send me to Cape Town beginning of May with a colleague for 3 days - we need to sort out issues in the warehouse. I stay in Durban - it's a 2 hour flight.

Now I'm VERY anxious about this. I do get on well with my colleague, so it's not that which bothers me. It's being away from my comfort zone of home, my bf, my horse, some close colleagues who know and understand, my computer (I'll only have my cellphone to sms and get onto the net)...

I've been to Cape Town a few times, once on business too. I just feel like I won't have my support structure there. And it'll mean staying in hotels, working with some Regional Executives and both myself and my colleague are "young", so I can kind of see us being told how it's going to be, as opposed to representing our division and making sure things happen as WE need them to be.

I really don't want to go, but I don't really see a way out of it.
