I'm so sad. I feel like I can't control anything. The semester ends in two weeks and I'm not ready. I'm going to fail and lose financial aid. I haven't even paid for this semester and I just lost my job this week. Right after that (like the day after) my wallet got stolen with my last paycheck inside. Now my *****y former employer refuses to write another one. So I just didn't get paid for the last three weeks. I have no money no job and bad grades. I went to the gym today to try to snap myself out of it but it was so crowded I didn't get to use anything.
I'm usually okay with my bipolar disorder. Today I hate it. I keep thinking I must have ****ed something up while I was manic and I just can't remember. I rarely remember specifics of things that I did while I was manic. I'll blow through hundreds of dollars and wonder where I spent it. Anyway. I'm not manic now. I'm so much lower than I've been in a long time. I've been staring at this screen for an hour. I have no one to talk to. No one understands. I'm completely alone and the silence is going to kill me. I got a job at a sandwich place, supposed to work tomorrow. I'll probably make about $20. I just want to stay in bed. I'm usually in control of the madness but I just don't care anymore. I can't fix it.

Your former employer legally has to give you your money:

I would file a case with the local police department.

Sorry that you've been having a rough time.

Sorry to hear you are hurting.

My son had a similar story only he was plagued by anxiety.

I won't pretend to understand the particulars of your situation but here is what he did to control what little he could.

1) he got in touch with the counseling center at school and made an emergency appointment.
2) they documented his anxiety so when he did fail his classes, the counseling office could say he was trying his best to make the situation right. He was allowed to stay in school after a successful appeal. He also got back his financial aid because of the extenuating circumstances.
3) he saw a counselor at the college once a week for the rest of time he was in college. It was free and he needed it.

He did the things he could control. It took him longer to graduate, and his GPA is horrible but he finished.

I wish you the best of luck.
