Hi i am new to this forum, In fact i have only recently been diagnosed with Bi Polar II,

Just started a pretty interesting job, got a great understanding partner, and 3 fantastic children

Life should be rosy.

It is not

I am unsure of what i should do, where i should turn.

My children are slowly hating me.. mainly because i can't given them money due to months of unemployment. And due to their mother coming out with nasty comments about me, when they ask.

The second is i am finding work, stressful, but i need work to see my children. I have only been there 4 days and a feel so out of place, i was advice to explain to my employer about my condition, however my partner is wary i should do that, She feels i should do that in a few months. I maybe should explain that i live in the UK, however i have not found anywhere based in the UK that offers this type of forum.

I have debts coming out my ears due to a being lied to last year and now,
I am major down and having to face the consequences of my actions i guess.

I know the situation should get better and I pray it will, its just feels like I was told i have bipolar, given meds ( anti D's) and apparently in the next two weeks I am to start a mood stabilizer, and left it.. My partner listen to my cry most nights and talks and try's to put a positive light on things.

Since i started the Anti D's( i was originally on a different kind but apparently they were making me worse) my moods have been up and down with extremes. mainly the downs.. or i am mega irritable,,, I want to feel normal, not a burden on my partner, and to feel like I fit in, particular at work,,, and to be a good dad to my children.

Any advice would be appericated
