I think you’ve had pretty good advice from everyone here and I can’t really add much.
I just want to say that what some people class as low stress (routine mundane) jobs aren’t necessarily low stress for everyone, it would depend on the person. Actually I personally find cashier work stressful, that’s why I work shop floor. That has stresses too of course, but they are stresses I can cope with. And I personally would hate my shifts changing too, that would stress me - hands up, we’re not all flexible and versatile, but it doesn’t mean there’s not something better out there for you. I believe there is something more suitable for you where you won’t feel like you’re screwing up because you’re stressed out. I agree with others about your social worker, I’m not getting vibes they are looking at what’s best for you here. Hugs. |

I've asked for my hours to be cut down to 10/week, effective two weeks from now. Will I make it those two weeks? I'll find out. But today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I screwed up a couple times but my till was as it should be when I left. Trainee manager had to leave though because during her break she got ran over.
I'm working until 9pm tomorrow. Guess that means two days without food if I can make it until 4 without b/p. __________________ If any chord that I could strum Make me feel less like a man I'd slam my fingers in the doorway And shatter all the bones So I could never strum again |

If you wear a small fanny pack you keep a meal bar replacement or a granola bar. I was thinking of something substantial and your meds. I like that idea.
I think it is doable.Stores are all looking for workers. bil quite his job he hated and went to work at walmarat where he got to make his own hours. My sister did the same thing. She hangs clothes up and organizes t-shirts by size, works by herself and takes off to go to her daughters house in north carolina they live in Indy, she recently flew out there to baby sit when her daughter and her fiance flew to europe for a 10 vacation. Her husband went as well. They are older folks 60's and are free to work when they want to work. I could never do a cashiers job or mcdonalds too stressful. keep us posted good for you for telling them you need fewer hours. good for you. bizi __________________ 150mg of lamictal 2x a day haldol 5mg 2x a day 1mg of cogentin 2x a day klonipin , 1mg at night, 4-5 peri-colace for chronic constipation multi vit,, vit c, at noon, tumeric, caffeine at noon PRN Remeron 15mg at night, zyprexa10mg under tongue, requip2mg. |

Bring core shakes they don't taste the best (cold hot chocolate is the best way to describe) but it's filled with protein. It's a meal replacement that can be drank fast if need be.

When I was going to school and/or working "flexible" hours, I set what I called totems through the day to look forward to. Stuff that, barring a major life event, wouldn't change. It didn't have to be fancy. For instance, one semester I set aside an hour after class but before work to get a coffee, do a sudoku puzzle and read a spy novel. Or I'd look up new releases at the movie theater and plan some movie nights a month or so in advance. For me, those totems gave a small sense of structure, a milestone to look forward to when everything else was in flux. __________________ "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.

So I just plain old no called/no showed today. Asshole move, I know, but if I do 2 in a row I get fired so that's the plan. I'm not working there another two weeks I missed two consecutive doses yesterday and it really f**ked with me so I'm not going to put myself in a position where I can do that again.

@MuddyBoots is it possible to explain enough of the situation to them you don’t burn a bridge without disclosing more than you’re comfortable with? I know bipolar isn’t understood by the majority of people and it’s a risk.

I'm not sure about the trainee. Her foot was black and blue and she said it burned (they just ran over her foot). __________________ If any chord that I could strum Make me feel less like a man I'd slam my fingers in the doorway And shatter all the bones So I could never strum again |

I understand, but I don’t think burning any bridge is safe. Too many variables.
That story about the run over is scary. I’ve known a person whose foot got run over by a car. And he was a mess for a long time. I hope they’re ok. |

Sweetpea. Boots. You're not feeling good or safe or ready about the job. I can feel that feeling in my gut. Blah, I swear I can. Maybe in the spring a job could be something to try.

Yeah, I'm not going back. I never got a call from them today about not showing up so I guess they don't need me as much as they made it seem. Unless they saw me almost pass out yesterday (I haven't eaten since Friday and haven't held down food since Wednesday) and figured I'm sick or something like I told them last Wednesday.
