Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I have been at the same place now for about a year and a half. I have been a supervisor for all but 2 months of that time while there. My colleges respect me, I have awlways had good attendance and they all know that I work hard while I am at work.
This last 3 months has been hell on my work performance and I am thinking that maybe being a sup isnt the best idea for me. The stress is really high and people depend on me to be stable and and make sound descisions.
Whenever I make a descision thousands of dollars are on the line each time. My job is always under watch and I am expected to have zero error. The paper work is never ending and I have to always find ways to resolve financial issues between employees.
On the sixth I am going to the doc and he will be putting me on some new meds. I plan on taking them, and I know that eventually I will be better, and I will be able to do my job.
Do you think that I should step down?

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
question is, when you say your "work preformance" over the last 3 months has been "hell", does that mean that you have had some disciplinary actions taken or have been taking aside?
have you had negative feedback from those you supervise? or is it the POSSIBILITY of failing/falling that concerns you the most?
if it is only the POSSIBLITY, then no, don't step down. i say stick it out, esp if you think your meds just need some adjusting so you can get through. if you are on the "last string" with your managers, then stepping down may be something to consider until you are mentally able to handle the responsibilities and stress.
good luck!
I internalised it and told my boss who I was working with at the time that I can not function and that I have to get out of there before something bad happened. She didnt understand and thought that I was angry with her.
We had a sit down with HR and the big boss and the other boss in question there I had to explain that I have terrible sleep issues and that it interferes with my work.
They all sugested that I go on intermediate FMLA. So I did.
Problem with that is that it is a career destroyer. Now I wont be able to go any higher where I work.

Sounds like you can do the job when on top form. Sometimes you just need to make the plunge, you may surprise yourself :)
