Bipolar disorder and work: overwhelmed symptoms

Well,  I feel worn out and yet I’m not tired! I have too much to do, but I actually have enough time to do it! I feel like I can’t find a good place to work, but when I sit down I work just fine.

I feel overwhelmed! Now I have to get really honest with myself. Do I have the time to do my work? Yes. Can I find a place to get my work done effectively? This is the tough question because I’m in one of those moods where every location is a problem. I feel restless and the people around me are getting on my nerves.  I do know where I can go to work though, and I’m going there now!

 I’m simply having a typical bipolar symptoms that happen to a lot of us when we have a lot of requirements, expectations and deadlines. I have to override my brain right now.  My roommate is in a talent show tonight and I said I would drive her. This means I have to get there early. I worry that I won’t get my work done because I need that extra time- even though I know I wouldn’t use that time to work anyway!

 I am crying a bit and feel very anxious, but that doesn’t mean I can’t work. I can! and I will!

 PS: I can hear my roommate practicing for the talent show tonight. She playing Sweet Georgia Brown on the accordion- and she’s singing it in pig Latin. I will probably feel a lot better after I see that!!
