I have been working so hard to keep it together that I have been falling apart in several areas. I do not take care of myself like I did, I want to just lay around and do nothing. I watch TV and eat. I get in my hypo manic episodes and then fly for hours and then crash and burn.

I have been going to school ,but that seems to be a lost cause I have been doing poorer as time has gone on. I still have not been able to get a job and or an interview in my field or the one I want to switch to.

I just keep running into road blocks everywhere!!!! Construction zones and orange cones!!!!!!! UGH!!!!

Tomorrow is a new day. I guess it is time to start over again.......

I know exactly how you feel. I recently moved to a new town with the intentions of starting over and leaving all of my problems and failure behind me, but it is not working out as planned. I have been here for a month and am still unemployed. All of my supposedly well thought out planning is not going as well as expected. It seems that I am running into all of the road blocks and cones that you are experiencing. Only one thing in my life has improved and that is my relationship with my significant other. He is happy in his new "home" and that makes everything alright. I continue to take everything else a day at a time even though I worry over it constantly. I can only hope that eventually everything will work itself out. Keep the faith. Good luck.

I hvae had many road blocks and obstacles too. And I have learned that the saying "every dark cloud has a silver lining." I wouldn't say that you need to start over again. I am a full believer in everything happens for a reason. In my life I learned to stop trying to force things to happen. If I felt like laying on the couch and watching tv, well dammit that's just what I did. When I tried to force myself out of depression I just sank deeper into it. And I don't mean to cast doubts on your career choice, but maybe you're forcing that to. Maybe a higher power is trying to tell you that isn't the career choice for you. Maybe that choice could lead to increasing your symptoms. Remember you're no good to anyone if you're not good to yourself.
