the Monkey is On . . .
I can't seem to find the meds that will help me maintain some kind of balance. I'm so doped up these days I feel like I'm drunk all the time. I stagger around bumping into things, sometimes I sit around like a drooling idiot. The problem is, I can't get stabilized, as doped up as I am if I'm even an hour late on my meds I start getting manic. I've pretty much given up on trying to work, I have to be dosed in the afternoon and soon after I start making mistakes. The last time I worked I gave a lady change for a 5 when she gave me 20. She seemed pretty cool about but a little later she waved manager over to her table and they talked awhile. When my drawer was counted I was 6 bucks short, usually I was never more than a few cents off. The worst part is my speech starts slurring and I have trouble understanding what people say. I need the money but, even though I could get unemployment, I hate the thought of being fired, That rarely happens at Fast-n-Eat, unless there's theft involved they just leave people off the schedule until they get fed up and quit..

Hello my friend. I hope you are doing better since you published this post, and perhaps found new or different meds that allow you to stabilize as you have in the past.
Do take care and let me know how you are doing. You can comment anonymously over at my place or send me an email if you wish.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for the encouragement, Dave. Still struggling with meds but I still have hope.
Never give up on the hope nor the struggle. Easy to say, I know - but nothing worth attaining is every easy, or so it seems.
Stay in touch, keep writing.
