    Just When You Thought It Was Ok

    Today hasn't been a good day and tonite is just an example.  I can't sleep so instead of laying in bed being pissed that I can sleep I thought I'd do an impromptu show.  It was done last minute but it is showing up on my list of shows and the line is busy.  That's just how today was.  It was 95 degrees and I hate the heat.  My wife's car wouldn't start so we waited for AAA to tow the car to the dealership.  When we got there the car started fine.  I have had a banging headache all day from Klonopin withdrawl and now I have insomnia.  Well it could be worse.  I just wanted something to occupy my mind, space, and time.  I haven't decided on whether to do anything about my friend.  Could have used someone to call in and discuss it. Well it looks like the phone is working now.  Going to do the show for a few minutes. Hope someone calls.

    Mental Illness and Working, Keep Work at Work

    I work everyday and some days are harder than others. This would be the same even if I wasn't bipolar. There are times when I use sick time or take time off because of an episode and that doesn't include actual medical conditions that need to be addressed. Over the past three years my job has been affective by a number of things that have nothing to do with me being bipolar.  The death of my mother from cancer, my father's COPD illness.  Him coming to live with my wife and me.  My disregarding my bipolar and watching my father slowly, fade away and die this past summer. All this happened in a 2 year period.  Now I have to face the bipolar.  Work has caused it rear it's ugly head.  We all have issues in our personal life and issues at work.  The hardest thing to do is not have them mix.  I don't let issues that are going on at home affect my work and I DO NOT bring my work issues home.  I do not have that many issues at home right now but there are a number of things going on at work that if I brought them home would make my home life worse.  That would then cause me to have anxiety attacks or cause a manic episode from lack of sleep from worrying.  See if is a vicious cycle.  Don't let yourself worry about rumors or the attitudes of other people.  I come to work to make a living not to be popular.  If I make some friends along the way that is great but not my goal.  I have to take care of myself. If I get caught up in cliques or gossip I may be on the wrong side if a regime change does take place.  It is tough enough to work and deal with my illness.  The energy I expend when I have a bad day is exhausting on a good day it still takes it's toll.  That is why I have hobbies like Blogtalk to focus on.  I work to live but don't live to work!

    Do You Feel Like I Do?

    I am still doing well with my new meds.  My thoughts are clear and I believe that I am getting better.  I am still having trouble sleeping so tomorrow I will call my Dr.  Even with how good I feel there is one thing I can't control and that is life.  There are rumblings that our building will be consolidated with another center and closed.  It is being denied but every once in a while something strange happens that makes me think it may be true.  Today I was on a distribution list for an email that was way above my pay grade. It was a spreadsheet and our center wasn't on it!  It could have been for something that our district wasn't needed for but once I saw it my stomach instantly started grumbling.  I got hot and the room starting moving I couldn't focus. I was having an anxiety attack.  I got myself together by telling myself what is the worse that could happen.  I'd collect unemployment, probably have to tap into savings and find another job.  Compared to other things I've gone through over the past 3 years that would be nothing.  I did some breathing excercises and went back to work. If you are anxious about the economy or your job try and be proactive.  Make sure your resume is up to date in case you do need to look for a job. Talk to someone about how you feel.  Try to find a way to release your tension and stress.  Most of all don't worry  until there is something to worry about.  If you need to vent call in to Bald Black and Bipolar.  Have a great day.
