Hi everyone :-) Just wanted to try the bipolar check in. Did not get enough sleep last night, night before, night before that... etc. :-O Need to wake my bf up (no earlier than 9pm), when we will get food.

He has anxiety and depression. I have bipolar, OCD and ED (as my main issues) but have been dx with adhd (I can't treat it with meds b/c of my other meds). I had trauma growing up that has only been somewhat explored and discussed.

I'm excited because 1. I'm settling into week 3 of a new job tomorrow. It's awesome - 20 hours per week, make enough to really help with finances here, I walk there and my boss is very hands off and laid back. Say he wants me to shine on my own strengths. AND my work helps ppl! and 2. On Friday I'm going to community services to try and get help with psychiatry + therapy (my supply of meds is running out in just about 2 weeks).

Stressed and nervous because 1. Lease is up in 21 days and bf and I snoozed on it (he's dealing with it over the next few days. 2. He's having possible ADA issues with work :-( :-( they know he's having mental health issues and are being sketchy - offering a solution (that at first look sounds generous, but is actually coming off pretty disciplinary).

I tried really hard to give him time and space to sort through things, but the clock is running up on so many things! I'm working 2 jobs now. Loving being with my bf every day (we had a long distance relationship prior to May), but we are both under a ton of pressure. We never fought - the first 1.5 months! We got along so well. Now we both feel the other is dictating how one should act, at least in certain areas. It's making us each feel that we can't be ourselves. We still have been so respectful and kind - but we're boiling over here.
