I was working full time (but that was about all I was able to do, work and get by) and then I moved and have worked part time and on a temp basis. But I've gotten depressed and had higher anxiety and I had major anxiety in my last temp job and had to quit. Right now I get panicky just looking at job listings.

It's weird because moving has been very very positive in a lot of ways, including giving me a level of clarity and insight about my bipolar disorder and anxiety disorder(s). But it also made me more aware of how much I was struggling previously. I have safety nets here I didn't have at all and I made it through each day because I didn't feel I had a choice. I don't know it's weird and hard right now I wish I could understand everything.

Right after I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder I couldn't work for a few years. My therapist at the time discouraged me for applying for disability because my parents were in a financial situation to assist me. Now I'm getting help from my parents and boyfriend but I don't know what to do. It's something I've brought up with my current therapist.
