5 months away from major psychosis and homelessness and I still have anxiety about becoming homeless again. Has anyone here ever been so manic that it caused chronic job loss which led to homelessness? I feel so alone in this. I got a live in position thank god that supplies me with a room/bed but requires 10 hour days of me so it is so tiring. I just bought a newer used car with an upsidedown loan I will be paying for 5 years but the piece of mind of having a place to sleep in that car somehow is comforting now after being asleep on a church bench for a month before this position. 

I just do not know how people get back to normal after episodes and homelessness that come with this disorder. I hide it everyday from my employer who is an LMFT who obviously knows what bipolar disorder is. I think I have PTSD from being homeless as well now. I am just looking for friends to talk to now that I can without being in survivor mode all day. I appreciate any stories, advice or messages and I am sending you all love.
