I am in the same boat. After being underemployed for over a year and living with undiagnosed bipolar II, I finally was put on a mood stabilizer that made me feel functional enough to work. Before I was terrified that if I got a job I would lose it because I would be too tired from lack of adequate/quality sleep, feeling unmotivated and worthless, inability to concentrate, anxious and overwhelmed, etc. The medication has helped stabilize my mood and I actually wanted to work. I got a job that, albeit I was overqualified for, made me feel useful and connected to the world again. I was doing well. I was had a routine and structure. I was getting out of my house and out of my head. I was really starting to feel a part of the human race again. And after 2 months, I had to leave because of an untenable situation with the person I was working for. At first she was thrilled with my work and I felt like I was making a positive contribution. I was learning quickly and feeling more competent than I had in years. As I gained confidence and independence in my role, I'm not sure why, but she flipped a switch and began criticizing everything I was doing, mirco-managing me and contradicting herself in directing my tasks and role to the point where I couldn't please her and I was terrified of making a mistake. So I had to leave. I was devastated. This job was my lifeline and I couldn't afford not to have it, both for financial and mental health reasons. At first I told myself that I was not going to let the situation make me lose my momentum, so the next day I began working on my resume, learning how to use LinkedIn, applying for temp jobs...anything to keep me from sinking into a depression. I lasted 3 days before I became totally overwhelmed and discouraged, lost all motivation to continue with my job search, and now I'm back to where I was before I went on medication. I am totally hopeless. I feel like a complete loser. I don't want to do anything but sleep, but I can't even do that.
