This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Well I've been posting about my new little job at the florist/bakery /snack shop.......it has all come crashing down on my head!!! I had to quit because the boss kept pushing me to do more and more even after I told him things were getting rough and tough for me and I was feeling WAY to stressed out. It's like he didn't hear a word I said........so I took care of myself and quit!
Don't get me wrong I felt horrible and still do for leaving him hanging like I did but damn what's it take for a person to get it??? I did the very best that I could and I just couldn't do it....I am physically and mentally exhausted and it's going to take some time for me to recoop after this one. My brain is glitchy now...I talk halfway backwards when I speak because I stressed myself to much...I can't find the words when I do speak, haven't been able gather my thoughts as they are all over the place. what a pisser!!! Now I learned what my limitation are too....learning experience here bigtime.
I cried for 3 days, had to sedate myself, called case manager once, poor Will has been upset.....but I am over feeling THAT badly and I can honestly say that I tried here. I was just trying to help my son earn some extra money so he could eventually get a car. Guess it's just going to take a bit longer, but that is alright too!
I want to say this......."When you tell a person you are helping that you're getting totally stressed out and express yourself to them that your bp is getting triggered and they don't listen......RUN!!!

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
The Boss wasn't listening, you were trying your best...
I'm proud of you for knowing when to say no.
very awesome ya know ur limitations!!!
I am glad you put your health first.
I'm glad you quit - and you should be proud you tried and did well! You got out there, and you did make some money - so you won!
But thinking you can't work, that this is a Tell-all, is wrong - for today, your stability in no way can work in Food - I'm the opposite! LOL I can't work in a slow paced job!
This job is not a representative of your past or future - it was a couple weeks you tried something different! I'm all about I'd rather make a mistake, then make nothing!
You did great getting it - and you did great letting it go! My heart aches when people talk in limitations - I'd rather focus on what you can do, more than what you can't!!!! You can get up and TRY anything, YEA!!!!!!!
Now rest and get busy on etsy! Tis the season ya know? : )
You tried and you should take care of you and that isn't always easy for us to do!! You should be proud of yourself for recognizing the stressors/triggers!!!
I am glad you are feeling better and maybe something else will come about so you can help your son. (((hugs)))
I appreciate you guys helping me out....I will be more proud of me too for giving it my all and try not to look at the negative here......
I am feeling better and better each day and I am selling things in the shop up town so that helps me out too!
Yep Gina!!!! Tis the Season!!! Going to be working on Christmas slippers today!! And etsy away!!!!! lol
Thanks again for the support! Love you all!! And I wish the best for everyone in whatever you do!!!
Good that you're taking care of you!
By the way, there was a good book suggested to me by a lovely lady here on DS... It's called. "Better than Normal" by Dr. Dale Archer How What makes you different can make you exceptional.
You might enjoy it. It speaks about people just like us in some parts, and is pretty enlightening .
Again, Kudos for taking care of (((you)))!!!
