People tell me things, but then I forget them... so when I go to ask for their help later, they say, "I already told you" or "I gave that you earlier". I just can't f***ing remember because my memory sucks.
I've also missed some meetings because my calendar doesn't have all the meeting invitations in it. Apparently people have been using weird calendars that are not Google Calendar, and I'm supposed to know that I need to import their calendar into Google calendar. Why not use Google Calendar if it's tied to your company email? The main calendar we're supposed to use is Google Calendar, which is why I use it. No one tells me these things, but apparently everyone else knows? Maybe I read about it and forgot it. Your guess is as good as mine.
I feel like telling them about my MIs, but I don't know if it's even worth it. The stigma may make the situation worse.
I'm going to make a better effort at work, though. My problems aren't 100% due to MIs. Some of them are my fault

I'm 21. Never have been able to hold a job more than a month or two. Sometimes only a week. I have self employed myself since the age of 15 and just couldn't get used to the idea of working for someone else. Recently dropped out of college to follow my intuition and work for myself. I could not be happier. I am free. I'd encourage anyone who is bipolar to explore their passions and hobbies as a means of making a living.
I think in your case it would give you control, and not as much pressure to keep up with other people's standards or expectations. Take care of yourself first!
