I was victim of identity theft this week and i barely slept all week

Just Sharing

I’m bipolar 1 and it triggered a manic episode. I was just starting to get over a pretty intense episode I had last month. Well i applied for an apartment and the broker stole my identity and opened loans and got credit cards etc. so i spent the week awake 24/7 contacting all financial institutions and doing all the paperwork. So I crashed by the end of the week and didn’t make it to work yesterday. Almost got fired, once again. I’m trying to catch some breath this weekend before heading back to work on Monday (I work as an EA at a Law-firm and I’m the eccentric one at work for sure). It has been an emotional week for me and I just wanted to share my story. I just upped my dose of Lamotrigine to 300 and it helps a little but this social takeover was the nail in the coffin. I’m seeing my psychiatrist on Monday and have a lot to tell him. Thank you for reading if you made it to the end. I’m sorry I’m not going into details because I’m exhausted at the moment.
