How do know when or if at all your job is your "trigger"?

Granted I haven't been dx'd yet....but still...I can feel a "manic" moment coming on, I'm irritable as all get out....I think I'm PMSing too...which doesn't help, I feel overwhelmed, tired, not wanting to go to work. I just want to run away and hide...Of course, DH doesn't get it...when I tell I'm tired, or I don't want sex, he acts like I can help it. And I CAN'T!

And I don't know how to say this next part, without sounding cold or down-playing other's problems....

But sometimes especially here lately, I fell like, I should be hospitalized, just so I can rest and relax... and "center" if, I can get to that point...

I feel like I'm on a freakin rollercoaster, loop-ti-loos included. I don't know if i'm looking for a response, or just needed to vent....

But Thanks!

If your job, or certain aspects or people you work with act as stressors then it very definitely can be a trigger.
