Struggling to maintain my job (lemm.ee)

Recently started seeing a medication provider who's been treating me for what she believes to be bipolar type 2, so I've had the help of medication. But, damn. I've missed a week of work over the past three, I've lapsed on alcohol like 5 or 6 days, last month, and I've just been feeling hopeless. I don't want to lose my job, but actually getting to work has been laborious. I just want Winter over, already. It hasn't been a month, and I'm exhausted. /rant

I feel you man and I've been there myself. It fucking sucks. Whenever mine got bad I always noticed that the more work I missed the harder it was to go back to work. It's a viscious cycle. And it makes the prospect of going to work feel like trying to drag yourself through a pile of broken glass. Just hang in there and muddle through. Depending on how long ago you started your meds and what you're on they could be still ramping up. It can take months for some meds to fully stabilize. The only thing you can do is hang in there and do whatever you can when you can.
