My BPD mania is killing me. I've had the PTSD/thousand yard stare off and on for at least a couple of days now and already called out sick on Tuesday for an unpaid sick day. I'm in my office watching irrelevant videos and will be binging espresso with hazelnut creamer and water until 3. Oh, and the head music/noise/screaming is loud. I can feel my eyes avoiding things to focus on.

Fuck, that sounds rough. Are there any things that might help? I wish I could be of help, but I feel completely out of my depth with these issues and don't want to give you useless advice. All I can do is wish you the best of luck, and hope things will get better soon.

Oh, and unpaid sick days are ridiculous. It's not like you choose to be sick, any sick day should be a paid one. I know it's not something you get in most countries, but that doesn't make it any less true.
