So in the past few weeks I have started a new "position". I am an AmeriCorps VISTA member, so I get a modest living allowance for working 40 hours a week. Modest meaning about 800 dollars a month. Yeah I'm just putting it out there.
I've switched my meds around a bunch. Now I'm getting off geodon and going to seroquel for example.
My parents have just told me that I am NOT to move out. Instead I should continue to live with them while paying 400 dollars each month for "rent". The argument is I should help the family. My argument is work is a 50 minute drive. Plus living with them is very stressful for me, but this translates to my mother as I hate my family.
Please tell me that I will get through this? Coming down from mania-- it might just make me crash down all to far.
