Something’s not right

need help

need help

I think I'm in depression again. Its a part of bipolar disorder. For those who don't know I was diagnosed in 2024. I have thoughts of whats the point because I have no real friends, no help except childcare, always scrapping the barrel for money, a business that I havent worked in properly for 2 years and I've been doing uber eats driving which makes me feel physically tired and even more questioning why bother. I have a PhD it shouldn't be this hard. I want to work so I can see my kids I don't want to be an absent parent but I feel making my 450 a week on uber and missing out on seeing my son grow just doesn't add up. People say get a job, everyone else does it but I am not like everyone else I have cerebral palsy and an intelligent mind that questions everything and so I question life has to be better than working for the man 9 - 5 just to pay the bills and miss out on my kids and my kids are my priority. My business best year I made 6k and while its not much it was on my terms and I enjoyed doing mediumship events, running fairs and doing readings and coaching with others but I just don't know how to get it going again especially since I have no babysitters or support so I thought I should try to lease a shop where I live and $200 a week so I could do my events, workshops, readings and coaching during the week and tried to do a gofund me to start up that as I need about 3k for bond and advance rent. Anyway if you got this far thanks for reading but everywhere I turn I'm not feeling it at the moment and I'm wondering if you have any advice message me I don't want to be attacked just chat. Thanks in advance.

Thinking of you @pinklollipop15 , I know you are doing your best to be the best parent you can be. Go gentle on yourself, especially as you start your studies again soon.

Is there anything we can do to help you feel better?
