I'm new to the site and diagnosed with Bipolar II NOS about eleven years ago. Going through a depressive episode at the moment that's lasted three months so far.

When this episode hit, right on the heels of a hypomania ep, I feel like I had an emotional breakdown. I'm terrified of going back to work (been on disability for six weeks) and feel completely fragile and overwhelmed almost all the time. Have any of the Bipolars here been on long-term disability?

Also, anyone else here on Kaiser? While they offer me weekly group therapy I can only get one on one therapy once every 4-5 weeks, which seems pretty inadequate to me.

Thanks for your time.
