I'm new
Hi everyone,
I'm new to the community. I'm 40 yrs old, have three adult children, and have been happily married for 22yrs. My kids and husband are great with supporting me and my diagnosis of Bipolar, anxiety, and depression. Even with their amazing support, I struggle with life. I don't have a job- I've tried! I got three jobs in two years but with my anxiety and depression, it proved to be too much. The only job I managed to have was when I was in the Navy but that was pre-bipolar. Ever since 2016, my perfect life was ruined when I suddenly became manic. Long story short, I now struggle with daily tasks. I fight myself to do simple tasks like get groceries or clean my house. I've done all kinds of therapies, read all kinds of books on mental health and the brain, and also watch and listen to anything to overcome mental illness.
I'm here now because I have no friends, no one I can talk to. I've talked to my family too much. I can tell by their body language that they don't want to hear about it but they listen anyway because they're nice. I want to be able to have friends I can go to in good times or in bad times. Thanks for reading❤️
