Hi TexasChic
For the most part i run a lab and typically it's just me and a part time student (who is great-doesn't need handholding or conversation).-Luckily! However there are many days where i need to train and do interventions with students or faculty and the equipment they are running, and there's something about them that it's like they NEED stupid conversation to breathe. Can't stand it. Bipolar or no bipolar i'm not a real social person._You know that is a REALLY great idea to prepare a task(s) for monday the friday before...i think that would really help me..THANKS
Meds: xanax, WellbutrinXL, Trileptal, Seroquel, strattera(for adhd).
Although to be honest this last week i've been forgetting to take the wellbutrin. i've missed probably about four days (i know...i know...)but even before that it's been that way.i think the therapy is messin me up a abit, it's just so hard for me to go. once i go that night and the next day i think of 100 things i want to talk about so i write them down, then about three or four days after, i analyze what i wrote and convince myself it's petty and not important at all, then by the day before my appt i say i don't even know why i'm going, i have nothing to talk about, i don't need therapy. Then the day of i usually freeze up and can't say anything even if i bring the writings in with me.
i feel like such a dork!-thanks for letting me babble on babble.
B2c.
> Hi B2chica, I don't think I've ever talked to you before. I know what you mean about having to be social at work. Luckily, I have a job where I sit behind a computer and can go without talking to anyone for quite a while. When I worked in retail it was awful ... having to fake smile and sound cheery and everything. Some people have no problem with that, but I know I do.
> I have trouble being organized and motivated too. I try to prepare on Friday so that I can just go right into some brainless work when I get in on Monday. Otherwise I wouldn't do anything.
> So what meds are you on? They might be the reason you haven't been able to cry. They can do that sometimes.
> Your discription of how lonliness feels is so apt. I feel that way alot myself. But at least we have Babble! I know it helps me alot.
> Hang in there! You're not alone.
