Drop a “yes”if, lost significant other/job/housing

I am just looking for, I am not the only one who crashed and burned. Feel free to list what you lost.

Just hoping to feel that others have struggled but ultimately rose above all of this.

I lost it all, back to back to back. I know people have come back from more. I’m stuck in a paralysis state. And I have a countdown until I need to be out of here and just got fired. Oh and yes, I lost my marriage to the love of my life.

Thanks

How do you leave out you got fired?

Just lost my job because of this illness and the impact of my manic episode.

What are your strategies when looking for another job? How do I leave out I got fired?

I am moving states, so I am going to try to go with that.

I’m managing better

My med cocktail has been working, I’m doing some fine tuning, but it’s been working. I’ve been going to my IOP group. Intensive outpatient program. It has been make me feel leaps and bounds better. I’ve been working and I recently had a recruiter reach out to me on LinkedIn. Who knows if anything comes from it. But I am manifesting and telling myself that this job is mine.

I’m managing better. As soon as I found out that I am bipolar, I put my head down and worked so hard for so long. I cried, cried, cried, and did some other things to cope. But I’m alive and managing.

It has taken me months since my first destructive manic episode, but I grinded it out. I wish you the best

How do you start on a tight budget?

I’m going to start looking at gear slowly, first trip wouldn’t be till Aug. FB marketplace? Or what other sites? I know it’s all about the gear, but would like to get away with what works, not top of the line luxury items
Thanks
