- i feel very lost, my thoughts are not linear or make sense to me like they used to. i feel almost that i am thinking too “in-depth” for someone like myself. i have thoughts of “the bigger picture” “whats the point in ALL of this” “what am i doing here” and it make me wonder- do i have these thoughts and ideas because of depression or do i have depression because i think these thoughts. i am trying so hard to make sense of it all. all the random thoughts i keep having.Â
- i want to change positions at my current job at Swift. Because my boss is not understanding at all. and i dont say that be a “millennial” and be dramatic, but he is not nice or considerate at all. he just has this macho man complex and will tear down anyone (slowly, like cutting their pay, or pointing out stupid shit that i wasnt aware of) who tries to stand in his way. Idk, maybe i have a different work ethic and i dont view this job/company as all $$$$$, but i see each individual person on the fleet that i interact with daily, and i listen to their concerns and their issues that they may have, unlike my boss and equal other person who just blow them off. My bosses boss wanted me to go to their office to get “trained” but i said no, because they are not accepting of me, or my work ethic, or any point i bring up to try and better the fleet to increase driver retention, which in turn allows the company to gain more money. at least thats how ive understood it. i dont mind doing what i do i really dont. i planned on working here until i was offically an LPC full time and could live off my income from one job alone. and no i dont like the idea that i keep leaving jobs. but its not intentional. its not like im setting out with an expiration date with each placement. he just isnt considerate at all. and i guess thats okay according to HR, because they have told me to just forget and start fresh, but how am i supposed to start fresh with someone when i have seen how mean and ugly they can be?Â
-im very afraid that i will have a heart attack very soon because of the amount of stress i am under. i constantly feel my heart pounding in my chest, there is a constant feeling of choking, and i just ache i dont feel good.Â
-And, i am in graduate school for my counseling degree. i am supposed to graduate next year if i get everything done and pass of course. but after that i have to take the NCE, and then i have to obtain 3,000 hours (paid perferably) but probably not. then take another test and then i will be certified , and then i can practice. but i will have to find a job as well. i just idk, i wonder if 1- i will even be able to handle being a counselor 2- if i will be good at it. and 3- if i will actually enjoy it enough to continue to do it for the next some odd years.Â
-My diagnosis- Bipolar Disorder Type II, i am trying my best to 1- get an understanding of the disorder and how it effects me, but also 2- how to continue on with life even though i have these impending thoughts of doom all the time. mind you, i do see a counselor, but its like idk, its like i need someone there face to face with me all the time, who is trained/experienced these issues who can allow me to voice what my concerns are without judgement.Â
