thanks, but so far as of right now i have my job, i got an email from my boss saying as of right now i still have a job, so im gonna take that as a win. i am on disability for my bipolar disorder because i tend to get very psychotic, its (i hate to say worse) but it jumps to psychosis very quickly. I also get medicare. but i work at an animal hospital part time because disability is not enough to live on. neither is what i make at work but luckily i have a fiancee who makes enough that we can survive but if we get married i will lose my benefits because he makes over 2000$ a month and has assets and all taht good stuff. what i make is just enough to get us by. but not if i lose my job. so i am thankful i have it as of now/.View Thread


good news! i still have my job (for now) not guaranteed for the future, but im gonna take it as it comes, i am ecstatic about that. i cant go back for quite a while and i will def have notes so hopefully that will help my case. the problem is, ive been out so many times, ive had drs notes sometimes and sometimes not, but i COULD HAVE gotten them if they had asked. well anyway, nice to know i have friends here. in the hospital they only took me off my saphris which is an anti psychotic that widenens the qt interval. all antipsychotics do. i never stopped my klonopin or any of my other seizure meds. but with my condition, all psychiatrists believe (and from my past history i need to be on a theraputic dose of an antipsychotic) to maintain my mental health. those meds also lower the seizure threshold. but i have made my choice i have chosen physical health over mental health. and i had my stint in the psych ward which only made me start smoking cigarettes (i HAVE GOT TO STOP RIGHT AWAY) i am a member of the bipolar forum here but the epilepsy forum is the best one, like i tried to tell starlight, but i understand she wasnt getting her answers here. i am just so frustrated. thanks again for listening. im sure i repeated myself a million timesView Thread
