I was dreading today coming up. Just back to work and back to the body pains and feeling withdrawn and otherwise depressed.
I feel good on the weekends and on days I get to work from home because it's low stress for some reason. When I work from home I do the same amount of work but the stress from going to work being there is absent on those days.
I'm so tempted to try to get more formal accommodation so that I can work from home more often. It would mean revealing my bipolar to my manager and the last, and possibly HR. But I'm thinking the benefits would outweigh the risk. I work in a hospital after all so you would think they would be understanding.
I've reached 3 weeks on the increased dose of Remeron and can say it hasn't done much for me. My pdoc mentioned she might stop my latuda and start abilify as the next thing to try. I like latuda and am on the fence about stopping it.
