This is probably one the most painful messages I have had to write. I am not in a good place. I have lost so much again - my candle shop job, my accounting job, and most of all my boyfriend who I loved so dearly.

I feel alone after this last manic descension into hell that lasted nearly three months. Just in and out of the psych ward, so confused, so immersed in all the cognitive distortions. I guess I can't blame my boyfriend for leaving me, but I am left in such despair and heartache. Everywhere, all over my apartment I see pictures of him, and now I have to try and cancel the flight and hotel I made plans for this May. My heart in is in the ground - all the income I lost, how will I make my bills now that I live on my own?

Trying to make the best of it. I apologize to any I offended this go around. I just really hope it's my last go around.

You certainly did not offend me. I was very concerned about you but never offended. The brief time you posted I only wished you the best. You can recover. It will be hard but I believe in you.

Apologies From LadyShadow (Lost Everything Again)

Do not apologize! We all were very aware you were unwell and we weren't mad at all, just really concerned. Please have some grace on yourself right now. Sounds like it was a bad one. I'm glad you're back though; you've been missed hope you can recover as the wind finds air the other side of the mountains

Thanks so much for your encouraging words guys. It's been a struggle at coming back, but I think I am going to make it out of this.

You didn’t offend me. I only worried about you. I know you’ll get on your feet like you did before. I always admired your strength.

Could you move in with a family for a little while until you are back on your feet?

You definitely didn't offend me. I was concerned about you; we all were. It sounds as if you have been through the wringer. We all love you

@LadyShadow

If your boyfriend left you because he saw you at your worst, I say he wasn't worth keeping anyway. I've too lost everything during a bad manic episode (job, family), but it all worked out in the end. You are strong. 💪 You will prevail!

And obviously you didn't offend me. I was just really worried!

Thanks so much sweet @divine1966 - I am trying to hold on to my apartment. I have some money in savings to get me through things. I am holding on and trying to rebuild. Thanks so much for thinking of me

@raspberrytorte girl you're so right about him. First sign of trouble he bailed and ran. It really hurt, but I am getting over it.
