It's our overhead that's killing us. Nobody's fault but our own.....well, MY own. I'm the one with the history of bipolar shopping.
I know, First World problems and all that. But knowing that I'm probably going to be more or less homeless in a few weeks or so doesn't do a thing for the mood, and there's no pill that will make this go away. At least I don't have the SI thing going; I'm sleeping well again and able to recognize that my brain is trying to murder me, and I'm not going to let it.

I too understand not knowing what tomorrow will bring. I've had to leave an amazing job. I didn't have to worry about a thing. And then, well this took over. I now live right at the poverty line. My life has changed drastically and I have no idea yet, what the step will be. That's for me and my therapist to work out.
I just believe that whatever is meant to be, will be. I'm not helping myself stabilize by worrying about something, I can't change yet.
Glad to read your line of determination. Ya can't give up, ya just can't so..you fight back.
