Welcome, I feel less alone being here at PC.

I want you to realize that the people in the hospital are just like you when your there, unstable. Most likely they are manic. One thing I have to accept is I need therapy to stay accountable with my medication and T watches out for my mood swings. Though I have to keep a large mood chart several times a day. I really feel . I really have absolutely nothing again lost car, job, living with parents again etc. comes with the territory. Are you using your resources? Pdoc,therapy, group, Intensive outpatient or are you just using the hospital as needed? If you aren't using all your resources that can help.

You have to choose what you can do. All inclusive studio w/ a part-time job may be all you can handle on your roller coaster. If you can't work there are resources for that. Look into vocational rehab. You need to realize what exactly you can handle while up and down. That may mean not handling your money or creating a little stash of cash for when things go bad.

I'm far from stable, things have recent went from really bad to better. It involved a large amount of help from my husband's parents.
