does anyone else find that a life with small or little stress makes being bipolar easier. I'm an engineer and my current job is just gobs of stress and crazy expectations. I think that kind of stress is a trigger for me. Every now and again I break down (with convulsions) and become convinced the world will fall on me and my pdoc orders me home for a week or so. This my vicious cycle. But when I'm at home, I'm fine. I can handle housework and day to day as long as I'm away from work. Seems like simple things like type a document, wash dishes, stuff with definite beginnings and ending work well for me. The open endedness and constant chaos of my job doesn't work well. I feel boundless and without structure to hang my hat on and I drop everything I'm doing when I start panicing (and convulsing). I'm thinking all my pyscotherapy is never going to help me unless I get lower stress job. Anyone else have this scenario happen to them?
my ex when stressed,,,, is an extremly confused person with lots of thaughts and many different ideas running thru her head,, the more stress,, the farther her head is in the clouds,, and the more racier she gets,,,
I too can not handle stress.I have been on a medical disability because of it and find that when I get that way everything is 10x louder and faster and it feels like my nerve endings are being rubbed raw and I get super angry and feel like I am going to explode if I don't have quiet right that minute.I actually had to make my 17 year old son move out because life with him was so stressful that we were fighting ever day and I was losing it.I get exactly where you are coming from and so do a lot of people on here.Hope you are able to find a way to ease that stress for you as I find it makes my bipolar worse.All the best to you.Nadine
