THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED ME ON THE WALL

Most here probably wont remember but last February I was severely burnt out .. I thought I was losing my mind. I was overworked in the hvac field and was suicidal. My mind blamed my job as an overworked tech. Many gave support . A note from mad dog stands out in my mind which made me reallize maybe something was going wrong with me. I was often suicidal , would work for days on end with no sleep , i would crash later . By the time I had posted I became delusional, chaotic , suicidal , reckless , manic and psychotic. Mad dogs response made me realize something may be wrong with me. everyone noticed a drastic change in me . I went to see a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with bipolar I disorder. Now im slighltly debilitated from a cocktail of drugs like lithium and seroquel. my boss is very supportive and flexible with me and pays me full time for 1/2 and 3/4 time of flexible work hours. Its a very rough ride but wouldn't dream (and couldnt) dream of working for any one else. I love my boss.

You're never alone on The Wall. Glad to hear things are looking up for you. A good friend of mine is going through very similar experiences & we've been very concerned for his welfare.
