They are aware of my bipolar but instead of helping me with accomidations they want me to just "get over it."

I really, really, really need to get out of this job but if I do then there will be 0 income for my family. I can't do that to my kids. So I'm terrified to quit and terrified to be fired, but I also hate it so badly I am drowning. I feel like I'm trapped in a bear trap. Either I chew off my leg or sit here and wait, either way I'm screwed...

So going home to no help after being in hell all day I feel like I have no safe place for me. I have no home anymore more. I have no where to escape. I used to be able to go home and feel safe. Now everywhere I go I feel alone.

Start looking for another job or start your own easy start up business...House cleaning or cleaning offices for example. You work by yourself, little stress, and mostly make your own schedule. Look at other options. Don't give up and settle! I'm in the process of making career changes so that things won't be as stressful and overwhelming for me as they are now.

And your husband needs to step up. Really. He isn't working and he should be helping you more. Don't try to do it all. On those nights where you can't cook because you don't feel up to it, don't cook. Make the kids something quick and easy. When you go grocery shopping buy things that they can make on their own. Last night I was in a "mood". Do you think I got off the couce to cook? NO. My daughter had food to eat but I can't push myself like that...Grocery shopping for me is the worst household tasks. The long lines, the people, the attitudes. On those days I don't feel like being bothered with people, I go to a grocery store that I know will have hardly anyone in there. Or, I will get up early (around 7ish) and grocery shop to beat the crowd.
