Anyone else struggling to juggle work and meds!?

I had 6 months off work 2 years ago during a 12 month long breakdown with a stint in The Priory hospital - at the end of which I lost my job and was diagnosed Bipolar type 2.

Blessing in disguise as i am now working in a low pressure job 5 mins from home in a casual office.

However my boss is a real stick in the mud with time keeping and some days are really really hard to get out of bed. I mean getting out of bed deserves an olympic gold on these days. and then when i get home i have no energy at all to keep up with the housework and weekends come i generally sleep for 16 - 18 hours. I even hired a cleaner but shes useless!

does anyone else have this problem!? or am i just super lazy

currently on Venlafaxine XL (extended release effexor) 225mg a day
