Hi all, i’m a teacher and have been experiencing imposter syndrome regarding my career. There’s a pressure to be “on” everyday and I put a lot of pressure on myself to give the best me to my students and coworkers each day.
When i’m going through an episode (usually am bc i’m still trying to get right med combo), I feel like I am unfit to be an educator because of my internal battles with mood regulation. I am able to mask pretty well but am always feeling like others expect more from me than I am able to give. Currently am wondering whether I have unrealistic expectations for myself as i’ve only been diagnosed for 9 months and am still processing what that means for me and my goals.
I recently had 4 weeks of no episodes. It was the longest i’ve ever experienced. No depression, no hypomania… just living lol I can’t believe that’s how other peoples brains are all the time. Lucky ducks. Anyway, I followed those 4 weeks up with 2 weeks of hypomania and now i am in a depressive episode. I’m currently debating whether i need a med adjustment but i’m waiting to see how my depressive episode unfolds first.
Curious if there are any of you who have very infrequent episodes or none at all? I know this illness affects everyone differently but i’m trying to get an idea of how high the bar should be for my meds and my mood swings. Thanks fam :)
