Wigged Out Bipolar Girl

Thursday, October 26, 2006
I went to the psychiatrist today to get my Adderall refilled, and explained my insurance issue regarding Abilify to the receptionists. My insurance would only fill 30 5mg for 30 days, not 90 like my doctor wanted so I could slowly progress. I still had some 5mg left, so my dr gave me some 10mg samples, and ELEVEN refills of 15mg, my final dosage (hopefully?). So...Try #2 on Abilify starts tomorrow!

Bipolar Girl really bipolared-out today. She has visible signs of being bipolar...seriously. I'm not just saying this because I KNOW she's bipolar. I thought this before she TOLD me. So yesterday she ASKED me for a klonipin, pissed me off ROYALLY, and she's been saying every day how she can't wait to get home and have a glass of wine. But now, she's really starting to wig out. She was being so rude and freaked out on a candidate today. I mean, she was just plain mean when he wouldn't do what she said. She started yelling at him "YOU TOLD ME....!!!" She had her arms crossed, and then she was pointing her finger and hitting the desk in front of her, yelling at him. She kept sighing and yelling. Everyone was just dead quiet in our little room while she was on her rant of about 10-15 minutes. My boss would speak up with little bits of wisdom of words she could say to him, but after awhile, she was so wigged out, she was past listening to anything around her. Are you wondering if she's successful? Does she make a lot of deals? So far, no, she's not been very successful. She works hard, but...it's her approach. It's the way she treats people on the phone. Like...she doesn't think about how something comes across to someone who's not a recruiter. People aren't just a piece of meat or a dollar sign. But that's how she talks to and about them. We're dealing with people's lives, careers, well-being...this is serious. So if you just don't CARE about someone as a person or THINK of them as a person, you don't think how you sound to them. I could give lots of examples, but it's just boring drivel.

And...my bipolar rage and her bipolar rage must be worlds apart. My bipolar rage at its' worst is what she did today in the office. So around people she feels comfortable around? My God.

Well...the guy my boss did NOT want to send and I had to practically MAKE him send for a position...got the job today.:-) I was GOING to remind him that he didn't want to send him, but now...I don't really care. The only thing is, I called him today, and he doesn't know if he'll take it. He's worried about the drive. I think he should take it. It's a great job, he's on a month to month lease on his apartment and can move further north, and it pays well. They're going to train him FOR FREE in some well sought out skills that would be expensive to pay for and take a long time to learn, they're getting ready to go public and he'll have stock options beforehand, and he'll be driving AGAINST traffic, so heck, he'll get to work 15-20 minutes sooner that I will every day! Sounds like I'm selling a job, doesn't it. :-) Yeah, I told all of him this too, and I turned a "no" into a "maybe", and then my boss got on the phone and turned a "maybe" into a "well okay, but I need to discuss it with my fiancé first". The thing is, he was SO EXCITED about the job, calling me for feedback and everything, and then he got his feelings hurt when he interviewed and they didn't hire him RIGHT AWAY and kept interviewing. I think my boss got him over that part. I'll be so excited if I made another deal this month. :-) That will be 3! How many has Bipolar Girl made? None. However, I know very well that the opposite could be true next month.

That's about it except...I hope Abilify will lift my slight depression and help me deal with Bipolar girl? Maybe there's no medication for that. (sigh)

The only medication for Bipolar Girl is the medication she should be taking. Its sad when you know what's going on with someone but they seem to refuse to get help.
