Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Can anyone offer advise on dealing with depression, anxiety, and what may now be bipolar at work? I have a high pressure job with a lot of responsibility. I often get frustrated and angry. The anger has turned into outbursts. It seems it takes very little to set me off. I am having problems with others in the management team. Right now I am at the point I just wish everyone would go away and leave me alone. It that part of all this? It is now to the point I am considering applying for disability as work and the incidents at work continue to cause me anxity, sleeplessness, binge drunking and smoking like a smoke stack. There are very few " good " times. I also have trouble remembering names, appts, and conversations. Any insights or experiences would be much appreciated.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Well the anger can be a result of loosing your penis by the ssri's. I know since I lost mine I have been angry all the time. Do you also notice you have to take a piss often? My suggestion to you is to get some xanax and gabapentin(neurotonin) they are not antidepressents, just simple drugs that will calm you down some. it might make you a little sleepy though. it will defenetly take the anxiety down though.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 You should consider going on stress leave. People do it at my job all the time (not always justified IMO), and it's very easy to get a doctor's note. But use the time off constructively, get your " binge " drinking under control, etc. I don't have any experience with anti- anxiety meds, but perhaps it's something you should look into. You can definitely make your life much more manageable. Do you excercise at all? Good way to release pent up frustrations.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 You've lost your penis? Where did it go? Mine's still there, if it's still there, there's hope.
