Hi Reveii...
I'm not intimately familiar with bipolar, but what you're describing sounds stressful to me. You're just getting out of partial hospitalization and getting back to your full-time job, right? Plus, you've got a daughter, a husband, and you'd like to be able to attend church (which is completely reasonable!).
I'm wondering if it makes more sense to back out of the tutoring for now, and first see how getting back to work and getting back to your normal day-to-day routines with your family works out?
Does your family need the extra money, or will you be OK without it?
Can you back out gracefully, or will there be any potential issues with you withdrawing? Could you tell them that you're recovering from a recent health issue, and realized that you may have over-committed, so you'd like to back out for now - but would love to keep the door open to revisit it in a few months, once you're more settled (is that possible)?
Or, if you feel strongly that you'd like to do it, could you try it out just 1 weekend a month, to see how it fits in with your schedule?
Good luck with figuring it out! I'm a fan of taking it slow, personally, and slowly building up the pieces of your life - then adding things on as you want/need to. If in 3 months, or 6 months, you feel like you've got too much time on your hands and you really want to do tutoring - you could always start then, couldn't you? For me, it would be better to do it that way, I think, then risk being overwhelmed and exhausted and not having enough time to really recuperate from everything each week.
