Sorry we didn't get a check-in last week, I got covid :(

Anyway, let’s check in with each other. What's good, what's bad, what's ugly?

Talk about bipolar or anything else - this is a free for all!

Well, I'm unemployed, ended up back in detox last week for booze yet again, and one of my good friends said they don't feel comfortable around me because I was manic last time we hung out and was "super intense, I thought you were on meth".

But my football team won today so that's cool I guess.

Stopping drinking was a game changer for helping my meds work right. Sooo there’s a plus on the horizon. ;)

That sounds really rough, I'm sorry. It sucks when we get judged by friends for our illness. I hope things get better for you.

Much like the post says, I didn't have a great week on account of having Covid, but the worst part was having to take care of other sick family members while being tired. I'm finally back to normal and looking forward to taking two weeks off after Christmas cause I need it!

I don’t see that I posted yet and shit got real this afternoon. One of my coworkers turned in her two weeks and the timing is impeccable because we are transitioning to a new computer system the same day. She’s been there 12 years and I’m sure I’ll be told to absorb a lot of her job. Yes it makes me more valuable but we aren’t allowed overtime and there only so much one can do in a day. I already absorbed half of my previous bosses job this summer and only in the last month have I not been at a frantic pace. I was literally starting to job hunt the last few weeks. Now this. UGH.

That sucks! It's ridiculous how companies expect people to just absorb someone else's work. I hope you are able to do some job hunting and find something you like!

My date that I thought went well actually went poorly. I was able to snag some tickets to broadway as a Christmas present. So naturally I asked my theater loving date if she wanted to go and well she’s going to church instead. I’m not too beat up about it I heard she was being a dick to my 13 y/o niece because she gets more attention than her or something like that, not entirely sure on that part.

My doctor took me off my Seroquel and I’ve been getting some strange ass dreams/nightmares.

Otherwise things have been alright!

Does anyone ever ask about you? How are you?

I'm sorry to hear about your date, but it also sounds like maybe you dodged a bullet? Also sorry I'm slow to respond, I'm still catching up on stuff after getting covid. I appreciate you asking how I'm doing! I'm good now, just waiting for the holidays to get here so I can take my 2-week break. Can't complain!
