Thank you all SOOOO much for what you have written. I knew I could count on you.
All of you mentioned one thing that really stands out: being honest with my supervisor, using "I feel..." statements, being direct and not letting this person take control of my life.
And again - you're all correct when you say that medication is not the whole picture - how true! However, I think - for some unknown reason - it felt as if my meds gave out all the sudden. The Nardil had been working so well. For those who asked, I'm at 60mg of the Nardil. I also take 1mg of Klonopin TID.
Today I was ready to quit my job tomorrow, then I started to feel a bit better about things after talking with friends and reading your posts. So, I don't think I will be quitting anytime soon. But I DO need to not let my supervisor take over my life. Sometimes she gets in my head and I get angry because I haven't let her know that so-and-so upset me, etc. Other employees have left because of her and I think she's gotten the hint and has been working hard to be a better manager. But it's like somedays she nags and nags and bitches and complains and expects me to make everything right for her. Then other days she is my best friend and very nice and sympathetic.
Anyway, I see my psych doc tomorrow and will talk about meds. I'm also going to be set up to see a therapist as well - which I REALLY need right now.
This is a little off the subject - but has anyone been on more than 60mg of Nardil? I've read that some need to be on at least 90mg. Nardil has been the best med for me in a long time and I won't geive up on it. So, we'll see.
Again, thank you so much for your support!!! I so greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Jerry
