Same here.

I was dx’d bipolar after my husband died and being laid off of my job of 8 years. The universe has no mercy. Triple whammy. Psych meds suck the life out of me and make me gain weight too.

I’m in a new job, but it is stressful and my boss’ boss is a fright and I have to interact with her sometimes. I just don’t want to get out of bed sometimes, and not having a boss that cares (mine is retiring and cares nothing about me or my work) isn’t helping.

I’m in therapy to work on it and trauma. I don’t remember if you witnessed your husband’s death—I did and I think EMDR therapy may help. I’m just starting.

When you’re done with inpatient do you have a therapist?
