I think that you need to talk to your doctor and have him change the type of medication or the dosage because it sounds to me that you are still having manic/depressive episodes. My best friend went through this for months and they found out the medication was conflicting with other meds and they were just not effective. If nothing else get a second opinion!

If you have an HR person or company make sure you notify them of the issue right away - then they will have it in writing and dated (and also note what your boss said).  Technically being bipolar qualifies as a disability, so if she's public about it then your employer is required to give her some flexibility in order to deal with it.\n\nI think it would make a bigger statement to your boss and company to talk about it calmly and rationally, and tell them you are committed to the company and want to continue (if you'd like to stay).  If she's crying or making a scene yelling every time there's a problem that has to wear on people after a while.

Start looking now. Your job is what you spend most of your waking hours doing, and If it's not making you happy, don't punish yourself. Sure it might get better, but you've got to be happy.

I always try to stick it out for a year, but if you are truely unhappy and there are no changes to job that can make you happy then it's not a bad idea to call it quits.  If there are things in your work environment that need to be changed, talk to your boss and see what can happen.  It never hurts to ask. Don't forget to give at least a 2 week notice and ALWAYS have another job lined up before you quit your first one.

I would suggest you take some part-time employment \n\neven some hourly jobs ... like mowing lawns, aiding shop keeping , domestic....\njust to keep u busy ... \n\nGET STARTED\n\njust 2 keep u'rself busy for awhile\nwill help u overcome depression ...\n\nDo it slowly , but do it\n.... guess slowly u will revert back to mainstream life\n\n--- very best of luck ,, and my prayers

That's an old tactic. Here's another one I've heard,\n\n"Now, I don't want you to quit. You've got a BIG raise comin' up and I want you to get it!"\n\nYou can find someone to complain to but you are not going to be happy at your job. Find another one.

Is there anything you can do to change the job frustration? Talking to a district office or a boss higher up? Changing job duties? Is there anything funny about how sorry the place is? Does the place do anything good that can make you feel better that your frustration is going for something useful? \nI read a book called "100 Things That People Do To Be Happy". It suggests that making yourself happy takes a lot of practice, like playing basketball. Maybe you can think of that while you are working and look for things that put a smile on your face when you don't feel like smiling. Do you have a library nearby? Try and find a book on drawing caricatures and make up funny pictures of the things or people you work with.\nMake sure you get as much sleep as you can (try earplugs and nightshades (blinders) if you are sleeping during the day, and as early at night as you can (probably hard if you work late). Sometimes your emotional state is worse if you aren't getting enough vitamins also.\nI'm sure others will have more suggestions for meditating, etc. I prefer to attack my frustrations whenever I can.

Try a different career or change your hobby. I know the feeling. Don't give up. Good Luck!

Try taking a part-time or weekend college course in something else of your choice. When you qualify in that then start applying for jobs. When you are offered one then take it and quit your current job?

There are so many of us who eventually have to face this situation. You can not change other people or control how they act BUT you have all the power in the world to control how YOU act. Be professional and cordial because this will only work towards your benefit. This is your job. Don't let anyone ruin that for you. It may be difficult but you'll be a lot less irritated if you keep a reasonable distance and maintain short , professional interactions. And exhale afterwards and let it go. Don't hang on to the irritation after you're gone home. Leave the bad feelings behind. It will make going to work so much easier.

Wellll, hmmmm\n\nIf you don't want to wreck the place, or call people names, or do anything that your boss can take you to court for to get paid for - like wrecking things, losing clients, and running up the phone bill...\n\n...then you could refuse to do work you disagree with\n...be late repeatedly\n...leave work early without telling anyone\n...be absent repeatedly\n...take unscheduled breaks frequently\n...make your lunch hour last and last - day after day\n...if you have a computer at work download a \n   messenger and chat the day away. \n\nIf you do all of these it really shouldn't take long before you find yourself on the unemployment line.

I quit by stepping down.  I was smoking full flavors, then i went to mediums.  A week later i went down to lights, then to ultra lights.  By the time i go to ultra lights i didn't want them anymore.  Its easier then cold turkey and you don't have the mood swings.  I could never wear the patches cause they made me sick and irritated my skin.\n\nBut you have to have your mind made up that you want to quit or it will never work.\n\nGood luck

You need to stop whining, and then you need to stop lying on your job applications. Once you mature, maybe you'll be able to keep a job.

Take a deep breath first off....\n\nTry finding ways to relieve stress that you can incorporate into your life (try those stress relief body washes in the shower or bath (if bath light candles and turn lights off too) \n\nI dunno what your job is, but if you can find ways to exercise while working you can relieve stress too, look up chair exercises if you sit at a desk, if youa re standing all day find ways to do leg or arm exercises, if you can take a brisk walk on your break or lunch hour (maybe through a park) get a bit of sunshine too its a natural mood booster
