I worked for years as a manic depressive without meds. Then on them. I actually had more problems on meds than when I worked without them.
The reason is I was more alert and cared about how my work came out and what the boss thought of me and my performance. Now I really don't care what is thought about me. I also feel sluggish at work now and many times couldn't keep up to the standards set by the employer. I would get frustated and quit.
I also someimes retreat into my mind and lose all sense of time and place. People would kind of get scared of me when this happens. I might even be talking to myself out loud when this happens so I don't think I can really work anymore. My therapist says I am a high functioning bipolar, so he doesn't think I would qualify for social security but I think I am going to apply and see what happens he said he would back me up.............thats it.......bye
