Dance Party Friday certainly has changed since my day.
If only we had some sort of iron-fisted ruler to get us back on course, but nooooooo. We had to get all democratic. We must free the people from those who would bring us down. We must purify Ni. Did you fart? It smells kinda gassy in here... The doors are sealed, such as your fate!
...Wait I'm still in here...
PARKER OPEN THE DOORS! PARKER! |

I don't know if it's just because my depression has never gotten bad enough or if it's my upbringing but I can't bring myself to ever EVER call into work. Like, even getting my to take my vacation days is like pulling teeth.
It does not matter how I feel or what I think, I will go unless someone/something physically holds me back. It goes back to that whole "It's the one thing I'm good for" mentality. If I'm not at work or school or whatever my obligation in life is, I feel like I have hit the lowest of lows and there's not even any point to me being here.
Trust me, you'll know if your depression gets bad enough
But at that point it's just a battle between your want to be productive that day and your want to just lay in bed doing nothing
It's not like (well I don't think so) if you're vomiting or have explosive diarrhea, usually if you can power through your depression you can usually get up and at least do stuff while being depressed
but sometimes it can be tough to find the willpower to do things when you're really depressed Or I just self-mutilate and truck on through. *shrug*
I suppose that is an option as well... but I don't know if it's a healthier option |

I can relate, We have to take vacation because...kids... and I just always go mental during vacation, its like getting dropped on a different planet and not knowing where to go or what to do (usually I feel more exhausted after vacation then before although I spend alot of time napping and sleeping).
Getting pulled out of my daily routine or having to do things I didnt carefully plan on forehand is very intense O.O |

I mean whenever I've had extreme working times it's been due to other unknown reasons, but when I'm depressed I usually just want to do nothing because nothing sounds like something I want to be doing For me at least it, if I'm at work and doing something I'm not thinking about the depression, or I'm doing the only thing I believe I can possibly useful for. I basically will push myself to breaking point because I don't believe there's any point for me not to during that time, if I hurt myself or die or whatever I just prove I'm as useless as my depression is making me feel and if I do the job I guess I just assume I'm at least pretending I'm worth something.
Basically during depression I either throw myself completely and utterly at work as a numbing mechanism or I become a sack of potatoes.
My manic episodes can also lead to excessive working... but that's another story that's just as unhealthy.
I mean in the past I've had episodes where I just didn't want to get out of bed, and would call in sick as a result or skip classes when I was going to college
Usually now my depression will manifest itself by me endlessly browsing my Steam games or going through Netflix going, "Wow, there is nothing here I want to play or watch", which I suppose is healthier than calling in sick or skipping classes (if I had any) |

Some people become violently upset with everyone else's every action. This, as much as I hate to blame depression for it. Every time I get super depressed my temper comes out terribly. Which then compounds the depression because I know I'm being a *** and overreacting and I hate when I don't manage my frustration well.
There's always the Ni solution to everything.
Take three scotches and don't call anyone in the morning, just go to work and harangue people on teh interwebz. |

Oooh. Bipolar disorder is even more fun. Especially when you don't want to take meds because your manic phases are actually productive and you enjoy life during them.
Not a personal experience, but one of people I know well. It's really *** hard on some folks and can really take its toll. Personal experience for me as well.
I tried medication. I've debated trying it again but as of right now the manic episodes are more worth their productive potential and I'm willing to ignore the negative side.
That Depressive side... I'd love for it to just go away.
But hey, I made it 23 years without medication or self-harming so I've got it a lot easier than others in my shoes. |

Depression as a chronic condition is a ***.
Some people don't feel like doing anything. Some people don't feel like doing anything but force themselves to do everything. Some people lose their appetite entirely. Some stuff their face will all kinds of unhealthy stuff because it supplies the brief serotonin hit that helps them along. Some people become super-apologetic for every action. Some people become violently upset with everyone else's every action.
It's *** and the human brain is a douchebag.

Is there any way you guys could trim the long hours back?
Given it appears to be an owner-operator situation, likely not. Owning your own business can be very rewarding, but also very demanding.
Truth be told, her situation isn't uncommon in these scenarios. When you own your own business, your work tends to be your life and it tends to control all other aspects of things. Euhm yeah...I dont have a life (hence I like my online time, thats my time) We never do anything, my phone rings constantly on my day off and I have two deadlines a day.
I love my job but......yes very demanding.
If you don't mind, what is it that you guys do? |
