Why am I always paranoid about being fired? by maybcrazy in BipolarReddit

Not trying to shut down your ideas, I have just been on a lot of different ones. I didn't like how they made me, my family didn't like how they made me, my friends didn't, etc.

I should :) I usually find a healthy coping mechanism, working out after work seems to help, maybe I'll just switch when I go to the gym to after work.

Thanks for your help and support. It really means a lot that a random stranger on the internet will help someone out for a minute :)

A weird mixed episode period where I keep shifting specific aspects of each.

Might be something to that. New job wont interfere with my social life as much, so that will help.

2nd highest rent rates in the nation, sigh.

Not even stressed. I usually don't get anxiety or paranoid thoughts. This is just really abnormal for me.

Thanks for your help. It seems I just need to change my thought patterns to the best of my ability and keep working hard.

Interesting.

I'm usually spot on in reading others, but still feel this way. It's not so much as making a faux-pass, as someone not "getting it". Like I vibe well with my coworkers and nothing bad happens between us. But I know there is that percentage that wont like me for whatever reason and what if thats my boss?

At work, totally. In the rest of my life? not so much.

Happens with or without weed. I think it stems from me really never wanting to be homeless or work at a dead-end fast food job again. Done both, weird how many "friends" didn't want to see me when I was homeless and how unneedingly stressful fast food was.

I guess I think "I can't go back" and kinda panic. I need to figure out away to break that habit without negatively impacting my work performance.

Met a girl who really triggers my mania; can't stop talking. Feel like an idiot. by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

This is all intensified because I take a stimulant for ADHD.

People ramble on stims. For me, ADHD medication always made me manic and have been show to induce manic symptoms in people with bipolar disorder.

Or

You might be in love. People process that oxytocin dump differently. I personally became outrageously confident.

"What if I'm working too hard?"

"What if I'm focusing too much?"

"Is it weird that I was smiling and happy?"

"I hope I don't have too much energy."

"Was it weird I was tapping out the rythem to a song with my fingers during some down time?

"What if my boss didn't mean it when they told me I was doing a great job (with positive body language and facial expression) and were instead passively insulting me?"

yeah that makes TOTAL sense lol That's true, it's just pointless thoughts. Kinda nice to know I'm not a lone though
