I'm on so many meds I feel like a zombie. Of course its done like that to keep me calm and safe and I know once I taper the remeron it'll get better but still.
My boss wrote me a to do list today cos I could barely function. Thankfully he's brilliant about it cos I'm honest with him. I even got things done off it but the fact I needed him to do it is a problem. So I'm struggling to get myself to take everything now. I'm already 2 hrs late with my lithium |

I hate that feeling....it's such a fine line between feeling good and being zoned out.
I hope you get to a good place soon. |

realistically i know it's the 150mg of venlafaxine (Effexor XL) and the 45mg mirtazapine that i've been taking for a week that's done it but it's so bad.
the fact my boss felt the need to step in even when i hadnt asked meant he realised something was wrong |

Sounds like a wonderful Boss!!! It doesn't sound like this will be forever.....pretty soon you will be back to functioning well again......but you did more then what was on the list...so I would say, even though you may not feel like "you" that you are doing just great!!

getting anything accomplished has been a huge achievement for me. to finally rub some of the stuff off before i went home really helped but there's still like 10 things on there and i know there will be more tomorrow night.

thinking of you, it will get better - it just takes time for your body to get used to the tablets...
but totally understand your frustration... take little steps and be kind to youself, it's not your fault that you have limitations at the moment and it will get better soon.

Yes, I feel for you. I haven't disclosed my BP to my bosses, and they are coming down on me for non-performance. Some days I wish I could get myself to tell them, but maybe I'm too proud or scared.
Consider every productive day a step in the right direction. Plus, you know it's meds and that you're tapering off, so things can only get better from here |

I guess i'm lucky. i disclosed my MI when i accepted the job cos i had to as part of a medical and since then i've been honest when they changed my dx to bp.
my boss hasn't been with us long, since august maybe, and i didnt tell him for a few weeks. i still need to educate him that bp is not a stress related condition! generally, i do more than what's expected of me even when i'm depressed cos if i'm busy i dont have time to think. however, it's remembering things right now that is a struggle. i think if i hadn't been honest with him from the start i'd probably be having awkward conversations with him about what was going on so i just dont hide it. |

Glad to hear Lotus. Hope things keep going well, and don't be hard one yourself if you're having a bad day and can't perform to the best of your ability
