I'm really feeling terribe now. I few days ago a caught my son's cold and my monthly visitor arrived on the same day. Yuck. Yesterday his grandma, who we live with, we to get a mass around her ovary scanned to see if it's cancerous or not. I'm very worried. I lost my husband to cancer less that 3 years ago to cancer. It's a huge trigger for me.
Another trigger for me is the thought of moving again. I planned on moving but rents are so high and I am in the financial gray area so I'm a little over qualified to for low income housing now.
I don't want to have to do almost all the packing myself like last time. I want to keep my son in the same school until he graduates in June. Then we can move to a cheaper area.
I can't handle stress anymore. I can't work and on disability because of it. I feel because of what I have gone through my bipolar is getting worse. Many things send me into depression. I feel like I don't have any security, that it's just me against the world.
I wish I could work again and to be able to handle things better. I know I can't go back to being the old me. I feel like a failure and a lazy idiot. I feel iike some pile of junk person.

You may recall I write that my sister and he husband were in an affair with my brothers wife. It's been almost a year. Mom last week asked me to invite my sisters boys to a birthday at my house for my brothers daughter. I was on my way to pick up the boys when my mom called and told me to turn around. Apparently my brother didn't know my nephews were coming and he was livid. I came home to a...
Wait a minute you are Jenn....
We are where we are in dealing with BP issues. It's not just you against the world it's you and a network of friends. Because you feel like a failure doesn't mean you are one feelings aren't facts. Feelings esp when we are depressed amount to little more than very compelling lies.
You have endured some very hard circumstances and you have raised a boy while going through them I don't think that equals being lazy or being a failure. ((((hugs))) this stuff isn't easy Jenn!
How are you taking care of yourself right now? I don't want to suggest something you're already doing.
