Life atm

Life atm

Hey.

It's been about a year since I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and anxiety. A lot has happened since then. Baby no. 2 born, moved interstate, separated but still living with ex partner. Struggling. Lost. Depressed moods. Failing my 2 beautiful boys. Tired. No support. Drowning.

At the moment I'm not in the best head space and came across these forums while looking for some help or something. I'm so tired. Tired of the expectations that I have to do everything while he just has to go to work, feed himself, sleep. Tired of not being able to get the things I need to support my boys' learning. Tired of being invalidated. Tired of being bored with no time to do something for myself. Tired of being told I'm too much, not doing enough. Tired. Not sure what I'm after by posting this. If read this far, thank you.

Re: Life atm

Have a look around the sight and when you are ready you might like to post. We are a friendly bunch with a variety of mental illnesses. Anyway take good care of yourself and I might see you around the forums. greenpea xx
