Bipolar Type II Support Group

So, I never know how to begin, but I'm up.....called out of work, going to quit there anyways.... stupid graveyard shift is fucking with my mood and my sleep patterns that took me forever to fix!

The boss is kind of a perv, talks to me on a social website a little too friendly while he knows I have a boyfriend, then at work, pretends like nothing ever happened. And I'm like "wtf?" The job kept me isolated and that's the last thing I need, I'm alone all day/night anyway, I need a part-time job with little hours and small intervals. Like 4-5 hours a day... 3 times a week. My passion (career) is not an option at the moment, because my back pain is almost unbearable... If I stand for long periods of time, it is excruciating pain. Sitting right now, I'm in pain.

I haven't seen my boyfriend in 3 weeks! He lives in another state... We are soo much in love and I can't stand to be separated from him, we just want to live together already, but both of us are financially unstable (jobless) and being supported by our families. He's having problems getting a job because of his past history and he can't get the $$ to come visit often even though we have all this free time... It is really depressing, he is my other half! I got to support groups and individual therapy but there's nothing like a life partner to help when things go downhill. He's soo supportive, helps me cook & clean. Calms me in a crying fit, brushes my hair when I'm having a fit from my sensory processing disorder, and is there to motivate me. But when we're apart, I feel so depressed, more than usual. I know I need a lot of work on myself, but I've been at it for 18 years! In therapy for that long at least....(in and out) Does anyone have advice or feel like chatting?

I am sorry you are going through this stress, I know it's hard. At least you have a strong support person in your boyfriend, even if he can't physically be there, which I know can be rough at times.

Being in a long distance relationship is very hard and I can see where you would get depressed. If your love is strong enough to bear the long distance, you will be together. I really think it will too. It sounds like you are very much in love. Keep in touch and that spark will stay with you. I think it's great that he supports you so much and is so caring towards you.

I wish you and him luck in finding jobs. I know it's very hard to cope with no money coming in. You'll find one sooner or later, just don't give up trying. That is a very important things with our illness

As for your boss, he should not be doing that. You are an employee and there is nothing that's going to happen between you, he sounds like a sick guy. And to have him act like nothing, like he doesn't talk to you online, is rude. I think you need to stay away from him and not talk to him. You have a professional relationship, not a secret relationship.

I hope you feel better real soon and that the two of you can be together real soon!! Hugs

I know I'm a little late getting to you I hope you found something to keep yourself busy this morning. I am sorry about everything going on, that sucks having a long distance relationship but if it's true love it will conquer all and you guys will get through this. When you save up enough money you plan to move together? I don't believe there is a such thing as financially stable but once you know you can afford to pay your bills and still have some extra left over that's stable enough to me. Don't wait to long to be apart from your love. As for your boss I know you want to leave anyway and good luck finding a new job but end what he is doing now in the meantime. He is way out of line. I hope you are doing well and had a good day! Hugs, Stacey
