Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
since I no longer have a job, I consider ed relocating. My dad offered to let me come down to stay with him in Alabama. I’m in MI. I called to check and see what their Medicaid guidelines are. I would not qualify (they don’t have expanded Medicaid like MI does). I can’t be without health coverage. Plus right now isn’t the best time due to my current mental status. I am not stable.
I wish I could leave this city. Nothing good has happened here since 2010. It has been a constant string of failures and setbacks. And it is a small city too, which means I am always running into some reminder of what went wrong. I don’t know where I went wrong or what I did wrong, but the end result was failure. I feel like a complete failure. I don’t know how or if this overwhelming sense of grief will ever go away.
Sometimes we are meant to stay put and dig in. But, sometimes not. Is there anywhere similar to where you live that you could move to without any great burden? A similar city, similar living situation, or similar working situation?
Best wishes to you. It sucks that healthcare is so messed up :/ I hope you can find somewhere, not just to live and work, but to heal and get better (at least, marginally!) I moved to Cali with my sister and got free councelling. I got a job for the first time in two years. Some greater force has been moving me from place to place, pointing and saying "go here. work here. Ok, now move here." All the while I have been healing a lot and getting much better!
I hope you can find something too!
