As for the job, perhaps it's time to look for another job. People who don't struggle with bipolar, or other illnesses, get bored and tired of companies and staying longer than you are interested can lead, as it did in my case, to poorer performance. Start looking for a new position and give your two-weeks notice when you find a position. |
Never really thought about it that way. One of my psychologist told me, just like a diabetic needs insulin, you need your medication. So I guess that makes complete sense once I actually think about it. I do want to look for a new job, but I have no idea what to do with myself. I'm finishing my bachelors in Psychology this fall semester, but I'm not sure what the next step is. I need more experience before applying for a Master's and this job is not at all related to my major. I feel like I hate it when my meds are off, and I love it when they are in balance. It's that whole, 'what to do with myself now' feeling.
