is this caused by bipolar? recent diagnosis
Hello everyone!
So, I got recently diagnosed with bipolar 2 and now I am waiting for an appointment with my general doctor so he can send the prescription to the medication (Lamatrogine).
I have been struggling for some time now with an issue with work that I would like to know if bipolar has something to do with it. I work with customer service in a touristic location in my city and the job itself has many issues and drama that causes stress but my biggest issue is crowds. Last summer we had like 6 thousand people per day, and im one of the people that sells tickets so i face the huge lines and all the customer stress. I didnt predict how much this would affect me, causing a long depressive episode and many anxiety attacks while at work. This has been repeating lately, huge crowds and on top of that the managers started a new sales system that its overly complicated and even they are not sure how to use, again causing more stress with guests which brings more stress to us.
All this stress has been affecting me very much, I have days that I cry before and during my shift, have had many anxiety attacks about working there and I have been wondering if its just really stress and anxiety or if the bipolar part of it has some effect in it as well?
