I am such a 'case'
I sent in a resignation letter to my boss and her boss and now I'm unemployed when I am in dire need of money to pay my divorce lawyer and keep myself from living in a cardboard box in the street. Before anyone asks..no, they won't rehire me and they won't just toss the resignation.
Is this a typical bipolar action or reaction to my impending divorce and loss of my house, security, future and hometown?
Jeez, I am so so dumb and now I totally hate myself and I have to look for another job and starting something new right now is terrifying with everything else in my life changing too.
damn, I'm messed up.
somebody talk to me, k?

> Is this a typical bipolar action or reaction to my impending divorce and loss of my house, security, future and hometown?that's probably part of it (those are pretty big stressors)

Well, one thing I KNOW is that you're not dumb, T!!! You may be over your head, too much on your plate, going through VERY hard times and not too clear-headed, but not dumb.
This is a time to give yourself LOTS and lots of forgiveness for perceived wrongs you have done. This is an awful time, and you have been going thru awful times for a while now....so, it may take a lot of attention, but hang in there.
Get that other job, do those things you need to and then as much as possible pamper the Tiny Dancer within you!
Take care of you, ok?
xoxo

Tina,
Shar says it so well. I agree. Heaping self-blame on top of all the stuff you have to deal with now just makes it worse and you don't deserve that!
How 'bout this as a mantra: (Take a deep slow breath first): "I'm doing the best I can under the circumstances".
This is the end of the thread.
