need help

I am 39 happy married and have bipolar since I am 15 right now I am so tired that I will have to stop
working when I get home cant do anything I have no power left for my wife and kid, I will have to
take time to rest and have more family time, I can't think have hard time to do my work,always stress panic attack.I need some advise in the last 3 month I did not have good day I can go up and down 15 times a day I am just exhausted...

It sounds like the medications are not working. If that doesnt help here are the things that matter: you spending time with you're family. Do they support you, if you're bipolar and have episode you're family can easily be the first to notice and interfere. Or they might pretend like it never happened. I highly suggest taking a medical vacation and recuperate you can get one and ralking to youre doctor. Best case senario you will be completely cured

Try and keep your stress as low as possible. I know you're thinking yeah, right lol

Wow no! We never recommend people go off their meds. Without fully discussing it with their doctor!! It's against our site rules. And can be unsafe for many people.

I hope what Emily might have meant. Is seeing if you could be signed off work? So that stress is taken care of for a while. But that depends enormously on their financial situation. And the support of the social system. Of the country he lives in. Some handle sick leave more reasonably than others.
