Thanks. I'm in Australia so things may be different here. There may be a few cuts I can make, like cancelling my contents insurance, but not very many. I am already in the cheapest housing I can get. The waiting list for cheaper housing is about 7-10 years and even then I must be at risk of losing my current residence (a flat I rent). I have a car but don't drive much so a full tank lasts me 3-4 weeks. The bus system to get to the main places I go is ridiculously long (like 2 or so hours each way). I live very frugally, my employment history from when I was high functioning was in credit management. However, when hypo/manic I lose control of my spending. T suggest I give my Mum Enduring Power of Attorney over my finances so she can cut the supply off when unwell. That scares me even though my mother is wonderful.

Another less stressful (on my body and mind) job is a good idea that I will have to look into. My past employment skills are generally for full-time positions or standing up customer service. I don't want to use my savings. My T isn't pressuring me either way. He was just stressing the seriousness of my situation and offering a suggestion. My Rhuematologist doesn't want me working till at least April but my employer won't wait that long. I just don't know what to do.
