3. So true. High functioning bipolar needs to be taken seriously!

So true. High functioning bipolar needs to be taken seriously!

This sounds a lot like me, even though I haven’t been diagnosed as bipolar. I am currently sleeping about 3 hours a day, and handling twice the necessary load at work. Nobody seems to have noticed my ridiculous levels of productivity and I felt really low about it going unnoticed earlier today. I have rapidly risen in rank/salary over the past year at work though.

My weekends are spent working on other projects because I’m terrified of fucking up, losing my job or not developing my skills rapidly enough to keep up in the tech industry.

Luckily, I work remotely so my coworkers don’t suspect anything is up with me. The downside of working remote is that I rarely socialise.

I strongly feel that if I didn’t have work to establish a sense of self worth, I’d be miserable.

Apologies for ranting - I’m not bipolar and am just interested in psychology and mental health, and your comment sounded a lot like my situation. I’m contemplating getting a weighted blanket for the insomnia because my gf laid down on top of time the other night and I instantly fell asleep.
