I'm 36 year old woman and to make a long story short, last year I had a very traumatic bipolar episode with psychosis that lasted 6 months and was hospitalized 8 times. I used to be independent. I lived in Chicago in my own, had a good job, etc. I've had to move in with my parents, who have been absolutely amazing. I find myself thinking about my episode a lot even talking about it with my parents. I keep reliving the details because it felt so surreal, like I was hypnotized and God was trying to communicate to me. I just started working again after taking a year off but I'm most concerned about my living situation. I'm now so attached to my parents that I feel I could never leave them. I want to move back to Chicago in my own place but something that was previously so easy seems so scary. Has anyone gone through something similar? Will I gain back my independence?
