You've got a plateful of yuckiness, for sure. My heart goes out to you. I can advise you about housing, having both been homeless and worked as case manager for a homeless shelter. First, find out if there are any transitional housing facilities in your area. These places are actually meant for long-term residence-- up to 2 years-- and they give you a room, or even an apartment, to call your own. Second, if that doesn't pan out, check with all the churches and social service agencies in your community. You'd be amazed at how many people will step up to help you out. It might only be short-term, but it beats sleeping in the car, and gives you some more time to get things figured out.

I'm sending you all the good energy I can. Hang in there, remember you are NOT a drama queen, and recall all the good advice you've given others here. Be gentle with yourself and separate yourself for your illness. You have bipolar; not you are bipolar.
