I'm bipolar 2, on meds and I'm therapy. Been mostly stable for a few years now. But right now I'm going through something that is about to cost me my job. It seems like a deep depression. I can't shower, have trouble getting out of bed, once I get to work I can't focus, I'm dropping balls and late on everything. My home life isn't much better. I live with my teenage son, but he's at his dad's for the summer, so I'm alone. My friends are trying to help me, but I don't know what they can do honestly.

I am talking to HR in the morning about a medical leave of absence to get my shit back together. But I can't just stay home and rot. I need something to do.

That's why I'm here. Ideas of what I can do on a LOA that are not too expensive and where I'm not alone. I don't do well alone at all. I was thinking a weekend at the beach, but, eh. My BFF wants me to do something scary like skydiving to shock my system back into normal haha. But I'm 52 and obese, so that eliminates a lot of physical things like skydiving or ziplining.

I was also thinking of maybe training for a 5k?

I'm near Atlanta.

I tried to talk to my therapist about it, but I'm also having money problems right now and she keeps focusing on my need to make my ex pay more money for our kid. He's been out of work since Jan 1. What money am I supposed to get out of him? Also, I do have a call into my NP to see about a med change, but her office is the worst, so we'll see if I actually get through them to her this month.

Please any ideas you have! Thanks
