When is your next appointment with your T?

I also feel like the only place I am real is either on my own or with my T, so I can relate to that very much!

Thanks. My next appt is on Tues. I called her again tonight on her cell. She is so supportive. I just sort of lost it. I have been working non stop for 6 months with only one weekend off. I am on call everyday all day. It is too much and it is affecting my sanity. The bosses are going to start giving me rotating weekends off tho. I just am unsure when. Sometime soon. But I am so burnt out already. I don't want to quit. I always do that and then regret it later. I want to learn to stand up for myself and my needs without quitting and running away. Btw, work doesn't know about my bipolar and OCD, so that is a struggle also.
