Besides having bipolar, I get really bad anxiety. The root? Immediate: I feel completely paralyzed today about a job interview tomorrow. I've taken 7 .5 mg of Klonopin today and it's not helping. Its 5:30 pm and I just want to fall asleep to escape this feeling. Everyday anxiety: a mortgage way over my head and I worry about money everyday. Seasonal anxiety: I have a solid record of getting a manic episode Nov/Dec. Current job anxity: if I lost my job, I would be financially f***ed. All this worry/anxiety is too overwhelming. Should I cancel the interview? If I got this job, would it cause more anxiety? Would it be more stressful? I'm in tears. I know job interviews are stressful. And feeling anxious about this is normal. I guess I'm afraid that all this anxiety and stress me out too much and will cause an episode. And I shouldn't put added stress on myself at this time. On top of all this my dad is living in hotels (evicted and took out a bunch of loans to buy stupid **** like all new furniture when he was manic) and calls me several times a day to stay with me. He would definitely push me into an episode. Yes, I see a therapist and I've been exercising but not enough. I hope I'm not whining. I guess I just want to get it off my chest. Thank you for listening.
