[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 572851, member: 14557"] Sorry you are having such a lousy day. Hugs. And because Daisy is very right, read rest of this only tomorrow, not today. Could you explain to your boss that you are currently having very hard time with your child at home and that may have affected negatively to your performance? That you are very sorry about that and are working hard to make situation better at home and to be more attentive at work. That could give you some understanding and time to get back to your feet. About the bipolar support: Many support boards have rather strict rules about what you can post in acute situations. While it is okay to talk about past suicide attempts or cutting it is often not okay to talk about suicide plans or current suicidal ideation or self-harm or make even wailed threats. It is because that kind of behaviour makes other anxious and feel responsible of this person's situation and that is unhealthy to all. Maybe your board has similar rules about writing during high anxiety and 'making' others 'responsible' of talking you down? Maybe it would be better to call some kind of crisis hotline or something during the anxiety attack and talk with a trained people who wouldn't get too anxious themselves over you? Maybe it would be better to write to your bipolar support group when you are not feeling anxious but when you are calm and talk then about how to manage anxiety attacks and get tips from others and share your experiences to help and support others.
