Meds update
I went and saw my psych nurse today and she upped my lithium dosage to 900 mg. I hope this helps, as I have been having a really hard time lately.
My job is in jeopardy because I have been absent and tardy so many times. A couple days ago, I had a meeting with my supervisor, manager, and HR manager to talk about what was going on. They gave me my final warning. Basically if I am late or absent again, I am fired. Unfortunately, I am not eligible for FMLA yet, so hopefully today I will be meeting with our Employee Assistance nurse to see if there are any programs out there that can help me protect my job standing. We might even discuss some sort of leave or intermittent leave. I hope things work out because I need this job for insurance. As you all know, therapy and meds are not cheap.
I had a good session with my therapist last night. She makes me laugh so hard. She told me that the one thing that will get me through this is my sense of humor. I always make her laugh during her sessions and during our session, she admitted to me that I am her favorite patient. That made me feel really good. I am lucky I found such a wonderful therapist. I wouldn't trade her for the world. She is willing to do anything she can to help me out in the job situation, as is my psych nurse.
It just feels really good to have such a wonderful support system, even if you have to pay some of them. ;-)
