Something’s not right

Self Pity Party

Self Pity Party

Is it bad we have self pity days? Like yes I got a mental illness but there are kids staving so do I have the rights to go argh life is not fair?

I'm just having one of those teary weeks. I'm feeling not right. I feel my new medication is working but my mania is coming in hard and is testing my medication and I don't think my medication is going to hold out.

Then I started thinking what if it dosent. I'm going to be sick again and not be able to work or life. Then I started thinking what will people think of me. Then I started thinking well what do people think of bipolar. So now I believe they think I'm purely crazy that's tempomental and you need to walk around egg shells on other wise they will set me off and I'll go into the loony bin. I'm just the nut in the family they discus to others when they discus the crazy person in the family to friends.

And I feel at work they know I'm sick and just think of me as weird. The strange one. I can't communicate or get in the flow with people there.

Literally thinking about quitting my job going on the dole and just become my illness. What's the point of trying to fight it I'm just crazy.

Re: Self Pity Party

@Bubbles3 hello. I'm just finding the pain of my depression to hard to deal with. I'm finding dealing with life a bit hard at the moment. It's just exhausting and painful so I just need some help and escape and it's giving me that breath of air and floaty feeling I'm loving.

Another day feeling invisible

Re: Self Pity Party

Yep 100% invisible at work. Everyone is sitting together and me I'm on my own. But then again there conversations are borining and shallow. I just feel so on the outside like I'm an ugly spider they don't want to go near.

Really struggling with human contact and work. It's getting me down. But I don't want to quit as if I quit the illness has won.

Anyone got any clue how to get through today? I just feel like screaming then crying. Not a good combination.

How is it going @Former-Member?

I think @Sahara, @Sans911 and @Former-Member have all had similar challenges in the workplace. They were discussing it in this thread a few days ago. You might find it helpful to read over, or perhaps they have some tips they could share here.

I hope your day gets easier @Former-Member

And perhaps @Former-Member's posts over here will be helpful if you need a cat-based distraction at lunch time!
