I not only pulled myself out of work, but went to the hospital, because I didn't know what exactly was going on with me and I was scared. I also was afraid if I went to work like that that I would be fired.
However, now that I know these severe symptoms can happen and may reoccur in the future I would probably try to manage it a home with my Pdoc and tdoc, because being around other sick people aggravated the episode.
Sounds like a plan. During my episode they decreased my antidepressant, increased Seroquel 2-3 times and increased klonopin at bedtime and as needed through out the day.
Your Pdoc is right...this too shall pass, but it incredibly hard while going through it. Have you had these symptoms before?

I did talk to my family last night. I had to explain to my 11 year old a bit about BP because I didn't want him to take what I say (when I'm angry) to heart. I try to let his dad deal with him when I am like this.
I am trying to avoid the hospital and am hoping my pdoc doesn't end up sending me there. I'd rather be taken out of work for a few days instead.
I have had these symptoms before, but never recognized them. I am trying to be very aware of how I am feeling and what I can do to help myself. It's hard because sometimes I don't realize when I am in a mood that can effect others, like when I get snippy with people or when I get the depression.
Thanks for talking this through with me, it helps to hear from others what they have gone through or are going through right now.
I am trying to keep a journal of my feelings so I can share them with T when I see her again on Thursday.
