Ever feel like you are going to screw up because you always have? I have throughout my life when manic, I have been medicated for 2 years, so far so good but the fear of screwing up and that panic feeling is usually lurking somewhere in my mind. This is just overall, like right now since my position is grant funded at the end of the year I could be let go unless I do a great job of which I am really trying. At other jobs I would get in trouble for not paying attention or not doing what I was suppose to all during manic phases. I then got medicated and the people at my job noticed a big difference. Still after 2 years of doing what I am suppose to be doing I always feel like I am on eggshells at a job and especially this one. Anyone else have this probably gonna screw up feeling because you always do or have? Any suggestions to make it go away?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Best wishes, hun!
Good luck though, positive thinking can help
Other times I have gotten in trouble because I was so depressed that I could barely concentrate. Right now I can barely function because I am exhausted, but at the same time I cant stop thinking and I cant sleep.
There are things that I want to do right now, but I know that I shouldnt because I question whether I am in the right state of mind to do what is best.
I have gone off on a tagent so I dont think I have anythign good to offer.
I guess my suggestion would be to continue to work, hard and well. And consider an anti-anxiety med like ativan. I don't take it often but it has gotten me through some bad moments
Where are the eggshells coming from?
