Do any of you find that your symptoms are worse at home vs at work. It's like I can keep most of it under check while at work but then when I get home, I feel like I have no control over it. My kids really stress me out and coming here makes me see all the things I "should" be able to do. I don't know if that is it or not.

But does anyone else do that? Able to control your symptoms more at one place or the other?

Hi Cathy,

I am just the opposite. I feel like I am on the top of the world when I am at work. So much so that I think I can do or get away with whatever I want. When I am at home, I get deeply depressed, I guess because I am not on that 'high' from work. Medication should moderate that, but it does not for me. That is why I can not work now. I can't control the high. Try doing exciting things with the kids. Join the y. Go to movies. Anything that would be more exciting than sitting at home feeling that everything is not the way it is supposed to be. Good luck.

Mark

I just wanted to echo what massagefever posted. I can usually get through work just fine- but streches of time when I am at home are dangerous. all I wish to do is sleep and eat- and sleep some more. I do not get much housework done and seeing the place disorganized just depresses me more!!

I can also get aggitated at work- I live in fear of telling my boss off. Sometimes I feel like I am going to explode- and there are days when the tears are always just at the corners of my eyes. It is very tense- and I have an easy job!

Has anyone out there found any ways to maintain a work/home mood balence?

Cassandra

I too sometimes get the urge to tell co-workers where they can put it. I get aggitated sometimes by them . there is one lady that I really just cant stand and it would be easy for me to tell her where to go. She is always in peoples business and started crap. I fear that one day I would tell her off and then loose my job, but i keep it bottled up until i get home and vent to my wife about her. When i get home it is a different story for me, I tend to be on the tired and lazy side which really isnt fair to my wife and kids . I am hoping that it is just a matter of getting a tolerance built up to my meds. right now I am only on Seroquel.
