There's a 90% chance I have to go on a business trip to the Czech Republic. I do NOT want to go. I've been there 3 times already and I hate it there. It's not a bad country by any means, but when you go for work and you stay in an area where most people don't speak English, it's NOT fun, especially when people ditch you because they want to spend the whole night drinking every night and you don't.

I'm afraid I'll get psychosis when I'm out of the country, and then there's NOTHING anyone can do about it. There's no way I can get any Rx changes or additions, and I'll be 6 hours ahead, so calling my therapist etc. will be a pain in the @ss.

I asked my therapist for advice yesterday, but all she said was to ask for work accommodations and tell my boss that such a trip would be emotionally taxing. I can't do or say that. I'm not going to reveal my bipolar diagnosis to him (or anyone for that matter).

I already told my boss that I found the last 3 trips overwhelming because of the long days and long plane rides, but he didn't seem to care. I don't know what else I'm supposed to do except suck it up and hope for the best. It's awful.
