I'm a 37 year old single male. My Grandmother is BiPolar.
I have never felt normal, been diagnosed as ADD when I was a kid. I'm a loner, ruined a great 5 year relationship , and go through some crazy mood swings. I miss my ex's so much, and the thought that I hurt them kills me.
There are days that I can't even fuction for hours after wakening from an 8 hour sleep. Coffee tends to make me more edgy and irritable. I have a way of talking down to people, and it always seems to effect my jobs. I can never hold a job long enough, any new job I start and I feel normal, and energized, and somthing happens after the first few months and I become the most hated person and I loose my job, moist recently a loved high paying job, I got blindsided and lost, I was told the reason because I don't work well with others.
I'm am so hurt and devestated by this news, I've for weeks saw this coming, I had nightmares that predicted that I would loose my job and I would awake in cold sweat.
Now, I'm unemployeed and facing sure financial failure.
I need to get help. I can't keep living my life alone, I have always been in denial of my condition, but am afraid to seek help and afraid of being on meds for the rest of my life.
unfortunatly, I'm seeking help too late, I lost my dream job because of my condition and my habit of talking down to people and alienating myself.
When I am in the "State of anxiety" I tend to stutter and stammer on my words, I forget soemtimes what I'm talking about and it just leads to embarresing moments and me
getting frusterated.
I don't even know where to seek help.
