Something’s not right

Really wobbly

Really wobbly

Any advice and suggestions about how to stay grounded and do self care much appreciated. I have some big stressors in my life right now. That combined with Bipolar 1 and Anxiety is really knocking me around. Trying to sell home as result of marriage breakdown, pay debts, find new home. My daughter (who is my main support) is leaving home (can't blame her). I have a young son to look after and I'm trying to protect him from the strain of the situation. All this is coming off the back of a mixed episode, which has recently been replaced by plumetting mood and skyrocketing anxiety. I am teary and on the verge of panic and need to talk myself down - there's noone else to do it. The future is scaring me.

Thanks @Meowmy @Shaz51 @Dimity

Yes have allowed myself to cry @Former-Member although it feels more like I don't have any/much control over it. I'm worried about holding it together at work. Have not really found support re the situation at work. I have used the 'right' strategies but they rely on other people meeting their responsibilities and that is not happening. I have tdoc this Friday and will discuss further. The options are limited, and really all that's left is trying to change my own responses to a dysfunctional situation. If I didn't care I wouldn't be struggling so much.
