Hey all,

So, I'm in a precarious situation. I have no money, I'm very far behind at work, and I just can't seem to get myself to go.

I had a major depressive episode a few weeks back, I hardly worked if at all for over two weeks, and I had a short period where I bounced back from that and managed to show up a few times and work unproductively, but I still can't get much of anything done and I skip days like crazy. In addition, I think I may have slid into a hypomanic state and I stayed up all night for the past two days (too much energy to sleep, too wired, too busy with projects and interests). Needless to say, I haven't been to work.

I've decided to try getting into freelance creative writing, since that's where my passion lies. I got denied from Upwork, but I've sent some submissions to greeting card companies. I'll see how that works out. I've also been working on some personal projects, mostly poems and novels, and I'm really not very anxious about things. I'd prefer not to be homeless, certainly, and I'd rather not continue to burden my friends and family financially, but I think I've reached a fairly peaceful state of mind on the whole thing. It's not that I don't care, but I don't fear being homeless, and I'm not really stressing over it. I think I've just gotten to the point where I can accept that whatever happens, happens, and I can go with the flow on this one. Perhaps it's best to let things fall apart and pick the pieces up, rather than kill myself trying to keep it all together.

Anyone have some input? Questions? Maybe advice for being homeless?
