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.
About a week ago 1 of my medicines was increased. I felt pretty good for a few days then on Sunday, I was hit with depression, again. I couldn't of come at a worse time. Vocational rehab is trying to get me an interview for a part-time job at a grocery store bakery. It sounds like a good fit for me but I'm afraid I'll blow it because I'll be fighting depression and anxiety.
Bp has robbed me of so much and made me feel terrible many times.
I was told that this med. adjustment will take some time.
I'm concerned that maybe I bit off more than I could chew. That I can't handle working at all.
I job shadowed during the Summer at a different store and that went fine.
I've spent a large part of my life playing through the pain. Maybe that was more damaging than I realised.

The med change may indeed take a while to level out. As for the job, all you can do it try. You won't know if it'll work out unless you do and if its something you think you'll enjoy, there's no harm in trying. If it doesn't work out, then you work through and try the next thing.
The only harm is in giving up...
Take care,

Thank you Kat.

, I found the stability it gave me mentally is helping. Just getting up and doing something that will positively support you can help the mental state more than ever.
Currently getting meds back in my system as well. The struggle is all to real. Where there is life, there is hope.

Thinking of you.
