I am very hypo manic if not already manic. I feel like I can't work. However, I love my job and don't want to lose it. My husband says I should go in and that I'll be fine when I get there. I am torn between this mentality and thinking that I will act like a lunatic. What if I get worse? By the same token, what if it takes me months to come down? Will I call in until I'm stable? I will certainly lose my job and I haven't been there for nearly enough time for fmla. What do I do tomorrow? Do I stay or do I go? Thank you for your suggestions.
Would it be possible to call in tomorrow and then put in an emergency call to your pdoc and therapist to get a game plan together? Maybe just take it one day at a time to help a little with the anxiety. I'm sorry you're having a tough time and hope you feel better soon
