Feeling like outsider at home with wife and 3 daughters aged 15 to 19
Hi. I just joined up here. I dont know how long I have BP. Had stress induced psychotic episode in 2019. 3 weeks in hospital and on Lithium etc.. since then. Im a lawyer but lost my livelihood in 2015 when had to basically give away my own practice. I feel a burden on my family but also resentful that I seem to have lost all respect from them as not working. Ive tried to set up a few ventures online but have lost any trust in my on judgment as to whats a good idea or just fanciful. 3 weeks before Christmas there was a major row where my daughters all basicall said I do nothing at home, am distant, dont listen, am on my PC all the time. They basically felt it would be better of if I left. I tried to change my behaviours and am working on it but since then I think my self esteem or whatever has been destroyed. Ive hit a major low since and gained 6 KGs. Since 2019 my daughters have developed problems and not attending school. I carry the guilt for that. 2 are attending counselling. I feel at 55 I am washed out. I still have an inner belief in my abilities but the daily stressors knock me for six. Im thinking of moving out but am lost
