Aside from in home childcare, I haven't been employed while symptomatic. I have had a cleaning job at my church (my mega church...it's huge) since early Feb. I have almost three weeks of vacation time. Well, I am feeling over the top. My anxiety and agitation are through the roof and my husband keeps telling me I'm acting strangely. I am very hypo manic if not already manic. I feel like I can't work. However, I love my job and don't want to lose it. My husband says I should go in and that I'll be fine when I get there. I am torn between this mentality and thinking that I will act like a lunatic. What if I get worse? By the same token, what if it takes me months to come down? Will I call in until I'm stable? I will certainly lose my job and I haven't been there for nearly enough time for fmla. What do I do tomorrow? Do I stay or do I go? Thank you for your suggestions.

Would it be possible to call in tomorrow and then put in an emergency call to your pdoc and therapist to get a game plan together? Maybe just take it one day at a time to help a little with the anxiety. I'm sorry you're having a tough time and hope you feel better soon

I would have written this. Jennifer beat me to it!
I agree with her suggestion.

I agree with the above suggestions. Maybe you need a tweak of meds. Spring is always my manic time, so I take an extra clonopin in the morning.
