Trying to connect with other BP's and how they are managing their work week.
Mine was pretty intense and stressful. Co-worker commented "If I didn't have these mood swings with my period I'd be ok". How would they like to live in mood swing central like we do. |

I wish I knew. I feel like I'm fixin to lose my job. I had such bad anxiety attacks today that I had to run to the restroom to splash water on my face. My job is high stress (I work in a doctors office) I get the same comments all the time. Feb. I'll be there two years and each day that passes, I feel I'm getting closer n closer to unemployment.
Only time will tell. shannon leigh

This week has been crazy stressful for me. I was out sick all last week so I'm trying to catch up and making up some of my hours. I normally work 25 hours and I'm doing 35+ this week. Feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. I had some big projects and lots of juggling. By the time I get home at night I have like almost nothing left. I'm also losing my job due to budget cuts by the end of the month so on top of everything I HAVE to find a new one.

I'm new to the forum. In fact, I don't really post on-line at all. I, too, have a stressful job and work a lot of hours. I don't know how I am able to succeed with bipolar. Sometimes I feel confused, and out of it because of the medications. I'm not doing well at all right now, and I can tell everything is suffering. I have suicidal thoughts a lot, and if it weren't for my kids, I would. It's sad to say that, but it's true. I have no friends to talk to, and my husband doesn't know what to say anymore. I suffered with depression until about 8 years ago. I could take 20mg of Prozac and could rebound well. After after my second son was born, I flipped into a mania that I'd never felt before. Since then, my life has been pretty terrible. All the medications are garbage, in my opinion. I can't remember much at all from the last 8 years, which spans the time of my kids' young childhoods. It's a cruel illness. I'm successful in so many areas of my life, but this has destroyed me. I would like to spend time thinking about my family, and not about myself and this illness.

Only 9 hours to go! Some extra sleep kept me from reaching my goal of 80 hours, but 74 hours in 4 days ain't too shabby!!
