Thank you; this is all so very confusing. I started getting in trouble at work for falling behind in November and it just keeps getting worse. I have an incredibly boring job and I just can't get focused on it. I'm trying like mad to get into a department where I get to use my brain again, but in the meantime, boy, is my job tough for me. My 7yo son could do my job, and that's just not ok for someone who's been a top performer and super-multitasker all her life. I joke sometimes that I lose an IQ point every time I walk into work.
I hate being on so many meds, though. The copays add up, so I feel like I'm depriving my family, but if I don't take them, it's like punishing my family. I hate feeling dependent on medicine, but in the end I'd rather that than what I once was. I guess a decent quality of life is worth a lifetime of ups and downs on meds...sucks any way you slice it, but it could be worse.
