What do you think is the cause of my poor work performance?I have worked at a highly stressful job at this company for seven years now & have been in this line of work for 15 years. I'm the only person in a unit of 20 that is behind and the only one who does the most mistakes. I see the statistics, so I know this to be true. I've only started performing really poorly for the last six months or so. I've had bipolar, anxiety & depression for many, many years and have taken meds for these conditions for many, many years. I'm 46 years old. I have drank alcohol "heavily" for about four years now, but only 3-4 glasses a night, as always. I haven't increased the alcohol in the past six months. Do you think the cause of my poor work performance is job burnout, my age, or the alcohol finally taking its toll? I have short term memory loss, to a certain extent. I get drunk about every two months or so, as always. I have had blackouts before, but only a few. Thanks!
I don't, by the way, goof off at work! Also, the 3-4 glasses of wine doesn't get me drunk.

what do you expect? if a middle age woman drinks way too much for years on end, do you think she is going to perform well?

sober up

Sounds like 'burnout' or plain ongoing stress & fatigue, in short you need a holiday!

Please verify this with your doctor ?

Best Wishes.
