Freaking out now

Yesterday:


My son's grandma who we live with is throwing us out.  She got mad at me over nothing and we had a big fight.  I'm pretty sure this has to  do with her sleazy guy friend that spends the weekends here.


It's a long story.


Normally I would be completely panicked but I am tired of this.  She gave us until the end of September so that gives a some time to find someplace to go.


This has been a very toxic environment for my son and me.  It has been causing a of stress for us for a while now.  We need to get out.


Today:


Today I am a mess.  I'm very nervous and want to runaway and hide.


I have an appointment with my psychiatric nurse practitioner on Thursday to tell what is going on and figure out something for me.


I've been through fights with her a couple of times before but this one worst.  Usually things would blow over but I can't keep going through this.  It is time for change but as with many bipolars, change is scary.

So sorry to hear Jenniferswe...that's more than a little upsetting that she would just throw you out. I'm sure there are resources in your community that you don't even know about yet....moving is thought but I have to agree with Dobie having a place of your own without this constant stress sounds wonderful! I'll be praying that things work out for you....

It sounds to me like this may be a blessing in disguise.... You've written that you don't like her friend and that you've had a few fights... You all deserve to have peace in your lives... Hopefully you'll find a great place for you and your son soon... It's good that you're seeing your pdoc soon... I would ask for a referral to a social worker ... He/she may be able to help with housing... Big hug....xo

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
