I'm an RN (still licensed) who lost my career to bipolar. I'm also about to become homeless (have to move in with my son) so you have my sympathies.

Have you thought about filing for disability? I finally did in August after my pdoc brought it up.....he once said he would never sign off on disability papers for me, but after I lost my third job in 15 months, he changed his tune and now he's going to help me. I would much rather be able to work, but at my age (55) it's hard to find a job even under the best of circumstances, and being sick makes it even more difficult.

I don't have any words of wisdom, seeing as how I'm pretty much in the same boat except for having a son willing to take my husband and me in. I just wanted you to know that I hear you and know something of how it feels to "have it all" so to speak, and then lose it all. Wishing you peace.
