At my last job I worked in an office. I had lots of reports and deadlines to meet. I had been on my job for three years no problems. Out the blue I started getting behind in my work. I could not focus, my anxiety was high and I was forgetting to check my email. Email was one of our top form of communication. My voicemail was full and I had not returned any calls. Some days I would go to work and I would just cry. Other times I was hyper and thought I would pull it together. I would get some work done but most would be returned to me because I did it wrong. My symptoms were not during depression. It didn't matter if I was manic. I would start work then not complete it. I thought I had ADD/ADHD. Now at this time I was not taking any BP meds. I had not been diagnosed. I was diagnosed a few months later (BP1). I do take meds now and I suffer from cognitive disfunction plus the other mentioned things too. I also have brain freeze. My mom will ask me to hand her the green bowl. There are four bowls on the table and I have to process which is green. Then she'll repeat it again which stresses me out because I can not remember which is green.
