I consider myself in a fragile recovery. I am coming off a 2 year depression which was preceded by a few months of hypomania.
I am trying to rebuild my life. I am on disability now so I have been mourning the loss of teaching. I'd like to find more purpose, meaning, and some dreams to enter my life. I just can't think of anything to give me some urgency and enthusiasm.
I would like some support in learning more about recovery and staying there. I am trying to do all the right things but would love to interact with others in the same stage. All of my friends in my bipolar support group are very depressed and one is manic. (Boy, does he get bored!) Anyway, thanks for listening.

Could you maybe look for a volunteer job? It's less responsibility than a paying job. Maybe you can work with kids again. And you can set your own schedule so you can take on only what you can handle and add and drop hours as you see fit.

That's a good idea.

Another one is to join a gym... getting lost in movement and in the flow....
We also experience flow in nature. Can you get out into the woods?
